Annual fees remain at $35.00. The fine for not participating in a challenge is $10.00. At each meeting we will all work on our own projects-figuratively related. If we don’t participate there will be a $5.00 fine. Remember this all goes into the kitty towards a teacher or retreat or other such fun. Suzy has volunteered to be group historian –taking photos each month to share on our blog. When Suzie is absent Jackie will step in. Wendy will remain treasurer, Leslie will remain chair, and Amanda will continue posting on the blog.
