Our Holiday Party:

                What a GREAT time we all had at the Ididachain Holiday Party in December!!! There was GREAT food, ENJOYABLE company, and a FUN gift exchange! If you were unable to make it, please take a look at our photos.

Bazaar Up-date:

                Even though our bazaar(s) were very successful, we still have many bazaar items left over. We need to decide what to do with these items. Please look over this list of ideas and then bring YOUR ideas/suggestions to our January meeting!!!

Should we:

  • Sign up for another or more Bazaar(s)?
  • Donate these items to local charities?
  • Sell these items in a local consignment shop?
  • Sell these items on eBay or another on-line forum?

Service Project:

                Our service project for 2003 went wonderfully!!! We made lapghans for the Mary Conrad Center in Anchorage! Delma and June delivered the lapghans to the residents of the center in November. The residents and care givers were very grateful for the donation and all the love our group put into the project.

                If you haven't already, please visit our Service Project Page and read more about our 2003 project and then see pictures of some of the afghans that were donated.

                It's time for us to make a decision about our service project for this year. Since the Mary Conrad Center is in Anchorage, and we like to alternate our service between Anchorage and the Valley, we are looking into a service project that will benefit a charity in the Valley. Please bring YOUR ideas to our January meeting.

Up-And-Coming Meetings:

                Our next meeting is on Saturday, January 24th (from 10:00 A.M. to Noon) in Anchorage. The meeting is held at Mt. View Lion's Den near the intersection of N. Pine St. and Mt. View Dr.
