We had a small but quality group at the monthly Class of 71 coffee hour last night. We seemed to have a knitting theme - Nancy brought her new project and actively worked on it through the evening. Fascinating - like watching the flames on the hearth. A friendly person in the deli came over to see Nancy's knitting and we all introduced ourselves and admitted to an affinity for the fiber arts. Not a requirement for attending! But lots of us do handwork and sometimes bring a sample.
Remember that our coffee hour - rather two hours - is on the LAST Tuesday of the month at Common Ground (on the Pease road) in Burlington from 5 to 7 p.m. The next one is March 31. Come on over and visit around the big table!
In other news, I attended the SWHS Alumni Association meeting today and picked up a few tidbits of news. The All-Class Picnic will be Saturday, July 11th this year. Plan to come! It is a riot to see people from all the classes. This year they'll require a pre-payment of the cost. So when it gets closer to the date and we know the exact amount, you can give me a check and I'll deliver it, or you can mail it in. To manage costs and have more money for their scholarship program, the Association is starting to send their quarterly newsletter only to paid members. The membership fee is $10 per year - see prior post for information. You should join it.
Also, the Alumni Association has a few other important dates coming up:
Saturday, March 21st - all-class meeting at the Sedro-Woolley Senior Center. 2:00 p.m. This is when they gather information from the various classes about how they would like to participate and what they would like to see happen in the Association. An important step in active participation.
Saturday, May 2nd - Geranium Sale begins. You can pre-order. This is one of the major fund-raisers of the year.
They continue to have general membership meetings on the fourth Wednesday of each month at the Senior Center. 1:00 p.m.
Finally, Jerry Sommerseth's annual Beethoven Concert is normally held in December on the Sunday closest to Beethoven's Birthday (Dec. 16th). Last Dec. it was postponed. A new date has been set! Sunday, March 22nd. If you are near SW on that day, be sure to come. I think it will be at 3:00 p.m. but watch the paper. This is always an SRO event so arrive early to hear local folks perform great music! We all know that Sedro-Woolley is a pretty musical town.
