FINALLY A STOUFFVILLE GROUP

The Stouffville group started on the 26th of September, and we had a great turn out. Three new members from Stouffville, and some of the Markham members were there for support. We are hoping to see more crafters on October 17th and hopefully some teens and tweens will attend. Teenagers you are welcome to join, if you need to make up some community hours and donate some thing to the needy.
Well Stouffville crafters, I know you would love to help those in need, so why not join us at the Souffville Library, for an afternoon of knit/crochet and brag. We are there on the third Sunday of each month from 1pm to 3pm.
