Monthly Meetings
Meetings are nominally at the Saratoga Federated Church. However, occasionally the meeting will be held at either a commercial or member's shop. Guest are always welcomed.
Each meeting consists of a presentation of a unique topic, followed by a short break for snacks and conversation, and then a showing of on-going or recently finished projects. To aid in the preparation of the newsletter, the Show-and-Tell form is filled out giving a brief description of the shown project. Our focus is to be creative, exchange ideas and techniques, and solve one another's problems.The program can be presented by a member or outside presenter. Members are assigned to a committee and a month at the start of the year.
