Rescheduled Board Meeting

Mary has rescheduled the CHH Board Meeting for Saturday, February 27 at 10:00 am at 5305 Jackson St. This is the office of Glassman Shoemake Maldonado. If you have agenda items, please email them to Mary.

Volunteer to Demonstrate Weaving!

Following on the heels of Blaine’s presentation at the Stark Museum in Orange, we have a request for another volunteer opportunity in Orange. Wendy emails us that they “would like to have someone come with a loom to demonstrate and talk about weaving” at a Methodist Church Mother, Daughter and Friends dinner. Find more information on the Members section of the website on the Volunteer page. As usual, talk with Connie so she knows who is interested.

This is in April so it does not interfere with our Livestock Show volunteer duties. I hope you are already signing up for that big effort!
