RETREAT – MacLeay Retreat Center, March 19-22:
Kelley has the registration forms and is also gathering the payments. You may make payments toward the cost of $140.00 and the final payment is due 3/3/15. Scholarships are available :-). Currently there are 10 BB registered and we need a minimum of 25 to cover the cost of the retreat center. We are going to play Fat Quarter Bingo (Kelley) and BUNCO (Rosemarie). We will also have door prize drawings so gather your 'treasures' that you would like to send to a loving home and bring them to share. Some ideas are extra sewing needles, fabric, books, candles, kitchen gadgets, etc. Kelley posted the information about Retreat on Facebook but she will post it again. Oh-oh, Shirley is checking to see if we can set up massages again this year … aaaa.
