Crystal Delight Bracelet

Thank you for the great turnout last Thursday. We had great attendance including one new member and six guests.....Thank you to Linda and her helpers, Alyce and Peg, for helping us to practice our skills with wire wrapping. The Program Committee tries to do this at least once a year because there are new members and it also serves as a refresher for those who know how to wire wrap but haven't done it in a while.....Some of our members left the meeting with a new pair of earrings.....Thanks again, girls.
