A reminder to all Craft House volunteers, there will be a
meeting September 13, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. We want all
of you to have a part in planning for next year. We need
some new ideas so if there is anyone who would like to
try volunteering please come to the meeting and hear
what we have to say. It gives us a chance to meet new
friends, visit, have fun, and get work done. All of our
proceeds go toward helping preserve the Craft House
and toward helping the Ranch.
I want to thank everyone of you: consignees, those who
brought in donations, and the workers and men who
have come down and done jobs that the women couldn’t
do. These men were Skip Wyman, Bill Dickens, Kevin
Snyders, and the young men who Skip brought to the T-
top to put tables up for the flea market. I apologize if I
have forgotten to mention someone’s name but your
contribution was greatly appreciated.
