Happy Spring!
Ididachain Crochet Guild Day of Crochet is Saturday, April 27, in
Wasilla at Vaughn Hall, Wasilla Lake Church of the Nazarene from 10 to
2. Bring a dish for the potluck. We will be making flowers to decorate
the fence for the Handiwork and Needlework Exhibit at the Alaska State
Fair. We are excited about this project. We will have patterns
available as well as scrap yarn from the stash. Come and learn a new
stitch, get help with a pattern or stitch or just talk crochet.

Kenai Peninsula Fair is holding a Fiber Arts Festival Saturday and
Sunday, April 20 ad 21, at the fair grounds in Ninilchik, 10 to 4 each
day. Ididachain will have a table at the festival where we will be
exhibiting crochet, selling yarn from Delma's stash (and yours if you
want to donate), demonstrating crochet, promoting the Alaska State Fair
in Palmer and teaching crochet to anyone who wants to learn. Also
joining us will be the Valley Fiber Arts Guild. Come by for the day if
you can. Mickey Hage, Patty Miller, Dolly Kalerak and Pauline Hooten
will represent the guild at the festival. We will have a report at the
April guild meeting.

Mark you calendars for the May meeting. In order not to conflict with
Memorial Day weekend, the meeting in May is the third Saturday, May 18,
from 10 to Noon in Anchorage at the Mt. View Lions Clubhouse. We
collect charity donations at each meeting. Our charities this year are
the Infusion Centers at Providence and the Alaska Native Medical Center,
The Stork Club, Frontline Missions Food Pantry and the Valley Special
Santa.
