Greetings to All
The Embellishers Grand Accademia is on line and open! Please come it’s

with 3M.

Greetings Your Excellencies, Council Members and Guests:
Please accept this report in my absence – I am not seasoned enough to be comfortable driving in this unpredictable weather and for the safety of myself and others, I will remain at my residence until the rains settle in.
There was no business meeting in the month of December due to the holidays. We did meet in November and incorporated our Quarterly Social gathering into it as previously reported at the last council meeting.
There have been no changes to our funds being held by 3M since the last report.
Accademia:
The focus of our group and many other recent gatherings have been in preparation for the Accademia event on February 18-19, 2012. All classes & schedules and other good stuff is posted on our website: http://www.kaldorness.org and the event is by pre-registration only so if you wish to attend, please make sure your completed form and payment are mailed soon! The registration must be postmarked by February 4, 2012.
We are still in need of folks to help out at the event –
· helping teachers bring in and take out their fabulous class gear,
· helping set up and staff the snack table,
· helping check folks in at the gate table (no money here, just registration packets and blue cards),
· helping folks to classes,
· and of course cleaning up afterward.
Please consider volunteering an hour or even 15 minutes here and there to make this classroom-focused event happen.
We look forward to seeing you all there.
Sincerely,
Jacinda of Kaldorness
