News of the Month — December 2024
Hello to winter weather in Texas! Though it was nice to have warm weather with us a bit longer this year, I’m glad to see the leaves changing color and frost
dusting outdoor surfaces. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving with food, family
and friends.
With this my last month as President, I know our Chapter is going into the very talented and capable hands of Debby Bowles. I’d like to thank all the current and incoming Board members—your continued drive and commitment to our Chapter does not go unnoticed. I also appreciate each and every one of members-at-large who participate in Neighborhood Groups year ‘round. Thank you for letting me serve alongside you.
On to Chapter business…
Our trip to the Arlington Museum of Art is this Wednesday. We’re going to see their installation of Disney costumes. I’m a big Disney fan, and can wait to see costumes up close. (The Museum also has two paintings by Eyvind Earle who did all the background scenes for Disney’s animated “Sleeping Beauty.”) Get more info about the trip on our website’s calendar.
Another In Town Retreat will be January 17, 18 and/or 19 at the Best Little
Retreat House, conveniently located on Beltline Road in Dallas. Choose 1 to 3days. Browse our calendar for more info. Come and join fellow members sewing and chatting and getting to know one another.
Many of our Neighborhood Groups have cancelled meetings later this month.
Again, check the calendar.
I close this email to you in hopes that you have a wonderful and happy holiday season with family, friends and loved ones. Keep on sewing and be blessed in 2025.
Joanne Jensen
Outgoing President
