NOTES FROM THE LODGE Sunday, December 23, 2007

Greetings on this eve of Christmas Eve--I sincerely hope that you have finished all your shopping, every last parcel has been wrapped and mailed if necessary, all your baking and cooking is done and you are ready to enjoy a blessed holiday!!!! In my family we have celebrated collectively and individually several times--two more gatherings and we will have dined, opened and enjoyed our family in great splendor.

I worked hard last week to get the class schedule pulled together and posted. You can view all of the classes by clicking on the CLASS button and then enroll by printing the form and mailing, emailing or coming in in person to sign up for a class. I am pleased with the wide variety of subjects that Nutmeg Lodge will be offering the first quarter of 2008. I also worked to get the Club information ready. It too will be posted on the web site soon and, in the meantime, you can stop by for a copy of complete club descriptions. For this you can also enroll in person on by phone or email. I happy also with the lineup for projects for all the clubs for 2008.

The end of a year has seen a lot of changes to Nutmeg Lodge. I would like to thank each of you for your patronage and support all through 2007. You are what makes this shop so great!!! Everyone on staff joins me in wishing you a Very Merry Christmas!!!!

We have a lot of sale items out front of the shop---don't let the opportunity of the great prices for backings pass you by. See you next week. Barbara
