The Weekly Stitch

Happy Labor Day!
 
Hope everyone had a great weekend! I am so sorry that this update is so late - we are just now getting back in town. Lots of friends, family, sun, relaxing - but, unfortunately, very little time for knitting. Thank goodness for travel time - one of my favorite times for quality, uninterrupted knitting! 
Meetings:
  • Tuesday - 10AM in the Hospitality Room at FBC McKinney
  • Wednesday - 6:15PM in the Fireside Room at FBC McKinney (Regular Wednesday activities have resumed, including Family Meal and children's activities.)
Yarns of Hope Bible Study - will start this Wednesday, September 5th! If you have registered and do not have a book, they will be available on the first day of class. If you did not register and would like to attend, let me know as soon as possible.
Finch Knitting/Crochet Club - We have already been contacted by the 5th grade teacher at Finch, expressing interest in continuing the knitting club this year. For this to be a success, we really need at least 5 or 6 dedicated teachers. If you are interested at all, please let me or Becca Masters know. You don't need to do it every week or be an expert knitter/crocheter to help. You will also need to fill out a volunteer background check at www.mckinneyisd.net.
Ongoing projects: Hats, scarves, blankets, toys for Texas Oncology McKinney, UT Southwestern Moncrief Radiation Oncology Clinic and Medical City Children's Hospital. Also, preemie gowns, hats, sweaters and blankets for the LDR Unit at MCCH.
Take care and God bless,
