STOUFFVILLE APRIL MEETING

I would like to let all our members know that Mary's yarn will be closing at the end of May, so you will not be able to drop off items at the shop. You can contact me at  the address on the web site to arrange pick up or drop off. It is too sad to hear that they are closing. Hopefully some one will open a high end yarn store in Markham for those of you, who enjoyed shopping there.
