Dana Wolfe from the Sidney and surrounding area is doing an article on me and my baskets to be put in the second week in June--it's been quite something---They had me do a personal and art based article and will be coming out to take pics. of myself and some of the baskets that I have woven.\ Also ---for the month of July the city of Vandalia has asked if I could do a display of my basketry in the Municipal City Bldg. There also going to let me do a private showing. Once a month a new artist from Vandalia is represented... Can you believe that this is happening to me....I sure can't (Congratulations, Jennie!...Carol) Jennie Dranschak I will not be at the June meeting as I will be leaving for Jabez that day. I wanted everyone to know that I now carry 3/16" flat and flat/oval reed in addition to all the other sizes. Also, we are closing in on our final deadline for the Mid summer weave. Unfortunately, we only have 40 people registered thus far. We have put it out there on every website we can think of but, may have to cancel. Please remind everyone to spread the word to their friends! Thanks, Julie Kleinrath Well I got a job!!!!! so please let all the ladies know on March the 1st. That is my first day and the job is in Cincinnnati so not sure what time I will make it to the meeting if at all.

They are a lithographer and already do some display work but I will be there to help them do more.
