February’s meeting will be our Annual Clay Day and Chili Lunch – now bigger and better! We’ll be meeting on Saturday, February 1 and Sunday February 2 at LeMoyne Art Education Center.

We will get underway around 10 AM each day. Saturday we’ll end around dinnertime, Sunday around 4 or 5 PM so there’s time for cleanup.

Barb will make a pot of chili (turkey) for our lunch on Saturday and we’ll have a signup for other items such as coffee cake, green salad, rolls or cornbread, iced tea/soda, desserts and snacks.
We’ll go out as a group for dinner on Saturday (separate checks).
Sunday lunch we’ll bring in deli sandwiches.
