Bobbie has received a call from Warrensville Library saying the meeting rooms will be closed in January, with Feb and March in limbo also. So, we thought we should call a virtual meeting for January anyway. We had a very pleasant pot luck lunch in December but no real meeting. We can have a show and tell with the January meeting.  Zoom details are forthcoming.

Study group meets at Patty’s home on Thursday, October 7 at 10:00 am.  Patty may enjoy a RSVP.

We will confirm our topic for Study Group for 2021-2022. We discussed in a Zoom meeting last spring to take inspiration from our own Cleveland Museum of Art and interpret it into a weaving project. There would be a lot of freedom in structure, yarn and item woven. 

We also want to discuss our meeting place or places.

September Meeting Minutes are found on the website under the Members tab.

CWG June meeting, potluck picnic and yearly wrap up is Thursday, June 17

Thursday, June 17th at 11:30
A potluck picnic and yearly wrap up
Bobbie sends these directions. Apparently the picnic area we are using does not use the main entrance shown in Google maps.

Take your usual route to get to Rt.2

For most of us that would be either Som Center Rd. or I-271 to the  Euclid spur coming from the west, or Rt 306 or Rt 44 from the east.  From the west go east on Rt.2 and from the east go to the west on Rt.2.
Get off at Exit 213 Lost Nation Road and turn to the right (North)

Follow Lost Nation to Lake Shore Drive. where it ends.
Turn right onto Lake Shore.
Turn left on the third street ( Eaglewood ).  You will see the Osborne Pool on your right.
Continue on down Eaglewood to almost the end.  There will be a street sign saying
“Casteel Way” and signs on the Ground saying Osborne Park.
Take Casteel Way to the parking lot.  You will see the pavilion to your right.

If you get lost call me at 440-954-2866.

This is a potluck.  In the past we had way too many salads and deserts.  Just sayin’.
See you then,
Bobbie
For those that like to see the map.
