Portland Area Meeting on January 18

SAQA Meeting reminder.

The SAQA Portland area group met in Lake Oswego on December 14. As a focus for some followup meetings, participants were asked to select a SAQA show that they planned to enter in a year or so. We will meet in smaller groups and share our progress in the interim.

There will be a follow-up organizing meeting at Gerrie Congdon's home on January 18, from 10am to noon. Bring a sack lunch if you like. Those attending the meeting can RSVP and get directions from Gerrie at her email, gericon@comcast.net. The focus of the meeting will be discussing upcoming calls for entry from the SAQA website and examining the prospectuses that interest group members. Bring printed copies of any prospectus that interests you. If you find information of interest on the SAQA website, bring references to share. For any questions about the meeting, contact Jean Wells Keenan, jean@stitchinpost.com, Betty Daggett, Bdavisdaggett@gmail.com, or Gerrie Congdon.
