Monmouth Chapter EGA





Classes

 

We are having a UFO Challenge. 
UFOs are unfinished fiber objects or all those projects you've started but haven't completed.

To enter just give Janice Meyers or BJ Carola your wish list of projects you'd like to complete by March 2012. You may list as many unfinished projects as you want to. They do not have to be EGA projects. You're not being graded so don't be bashful. But Janice or BJ need your list by March 17th.

There's an entry form on page 8 of your January newsletter. You don't have to use the form; you can just list your projects making sure your name is on the list.

Here are your incentives:
1)You receive a small prize if you complete 1 project on your list and show it at Show and Tell at a meeting and tell either BJ or Janice that you did.
2)For each project you complete and show at Show and Tell at a meeting and inform either BJ or Janice that you did, your name will be entered in a drawing.

The prize for the lucky winner is free membership dues for one year.
