Hello to enthusiastic weavers, spinners, knitters and quilters!! Please pass the following information to  your groups and guilds. This is possibly the largest guild sale we have ever had and look forward to sharing the richness. 

Please find some volunteer time in your calendar.

Starting July 28th, we will have weekly Wednesday workdays at the Jackson house. I will be there every Wednesday from 10am to 2pm. Jean’s children have done all the heavy lifting that I anticipated, so now we only need to identify and price everything. This in itself is a huge job.

For those of you not at June’s meeting and potluck, you may not know that plans for the CWG sale had to change drastically. Victoria has been in close contact with Jean’s family, making plans for building a CWG storage shed, and planning work parties for the sale. This update will help you plan how you’d like to volunteer when the time comes.

Wherever Jean is, she’s smiling at the plan her children have put in place. They put our plan aside and replaced it. Our original plan of the end of August was extended to become the end of September. CHANGE IT ON YOUR CALENDAR NOW! We are definitely doing the whole LAST WEEKEND IN SEPTEMBER. Start telling folks. Pass the word. It’s official.

They also completely altered my plan for all of the heavy stuff, and they will no doubt be blessed. Especially by me. Their plan is to meet in two weeks to empty the garage, move everything from the shed into the garage, bring all the books out to the garage and onto the newly empty shelves. They talk of tarps and taking respectful care. After July 24th, we can then enter through the side door and work at our leisure to handle all the cleaning, sorting and pricing that has to happen. When we get closer to the actual sale date, we will arrange a date to bring all the yarn out from the house. After July 24th, I plan to schedule weekly work sessions up to the sale date. Come when you can, but let me know your plan.

The storage sheds will definitely be in place before the sale. There will be two. I will share that story when they’re up, but I will say now that we managed to stay within the budget.

That’s what I know so far as of 7/13/2021.

Victoria
