Dear Members and Patrons,

Happy Holidays To You All. As I write this note, Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I wish you all a Blessed Day. Though this is such a busy time of the year, I invite you come to share in our Very Lovely Christmas Party on December 6 at 7 pm. We all bring a yummy dish to share and FAA provides the drinks. And the fun (sometimes rowdy) Ornament or Holiday Item Exchange ($5 to$10 wrapped to surprise us all) ( if you wish to participate).

Dear Members and Patrons,

Dear Members and Patrons,

This is such an exciting time to live in the Midwest. Beautiful color changes are happening and October brings one of our very favorite guest artists back with us for a full five-day workshop. And that means that all members will be experiencing the incredible talent and gentle personality of Gerald Brommer. So, be sure to mark your calendars, bring your friends, and be prepared for a lovely evening of instruction, fellowship, and of course, food and fun. Our next meeting will be Tuesday, October 4, 2011 at 7 pm. The board will meet at 6 pm.

Sue Brezine

Dear Members and Patrons,

I wish to first thank Rose again for serving us as president and doing an incredible amount of work. Besides leading meetings, she could be found in the big closet, organizing the history of this wonderful organization, setting aside time to show me her records as president, and most recently I found both she and our faithful corresponding secretary, Jackie, recording and filing our donated lending library. Thank you both for your devotion to FAA.
