Our formal charter name is Inland Empire Crochet Club. We are legit, people! With this new year and official charter, let's get this group off to a bit more, ahem, professional start. I am really looking for input from you, the members, as to how you would like to see this group evolve.<br />
<br />
There are some things that I know I would be looking forward to:<br />
1. I would love to see more involvement by more members each month. To this end, I would really like the more experienced crocheters to step forward and be willing to teach a skill, technique, short pattern, or something unique each month. We just need one per month.<br />
2. I would love to see us take a field trip to see something crochet- or yarn-related. Maybe a fiber festival, or perhaps the fiber arts exhibit at one of the county fairs. If you hear of something coming up, please let us know.<br />
3. I would love to see us affiliate ourselves with one or two charities. We have a gift and I would love to see us share it with those who really need it. We can all nominate a favorite and vote at some point early this year, hopefully in March.<br />
4. I would love to see us grow as a group and get the word out to other crocheters. We are all passionate about this craft; let's spread the love!<br />
<br />
Anyway, these are just a few suggestions. If you have any, PLEASE let me know. Note that I will *try* to keep this blog and our group on Ravelry as up to date as possible.<br />
<br />
Thanks everyone!<br /><br />Amy<br />
