First Tuesday League Gathering!
2024-10-01 16:00 - 19:00
Alicia Cypher, the owner of the New Richmond business Little Piece of Mind Quilt Shop generously offered private space for gatherings until the election. We created the following plan:
Oct 1 4:00 – 7:00
Nov 5 4:00 – TBD Election Night!!!
This is a private entry workshop room with a bathroom, a kitchenette, T.V., tables, chairs, couches, and a great vibe for meeting together to work on postcard projects, share league materials, focus on league work, watch webinars together, host an informational presentation, set up an information table in the parking lot, a member book exchange, whatever you want it to be! It will be BYOB and snacks to share. Informal, comfortable, and a way for us to gather, process what is happening in the election and be supportive of one another as we do the work necessary between now and November 5. And YES, we have a safe private space to gather to watch the election returns and experience history together.
Address to Little Piece of Mind Quilt Shop 1027 N Knowles Ave. New Richmond.
