In a few weeks we ll be welcoming 2018, before you can say Jiminy Cricket! the New Year will be here. Our hui has averaged three community projects a month, not including other activities such as Civic Club, Council, Association and Community meetings. We were kept very busy doing craft demonstrations for large companies from around the world that come to Hawai`i s shores for their annual conventions. Recently I was asked to find activities that everyone can be included in. We have been putting our activities in our monthly newsletters. Now if members can keep up with our newsletter items we do include the person to contact and a contact phone number to call. We don t know everyone s personal schedule and the opportunity for you all to get involved is yours. Call us if you have the time and get involved whenever you can insert yourself to assist. I have been learning to do different crafts for over twenty years and it has 2

Second thing is our Installation Luncheon that will be on Sunday, January 14; reserve your seat now. This is our General Membership Meeting for January.
