Membership & Meeting This Saturday (1/7)
2012 MEMBERSHIP DUES - NOW DUE
TVHS Dues Annual dues of $15 are payable this month. Bring a check made out to TVH, or exact cash, to the Jan. 7 meeting. Members may also mail a check to Joan -- you can find her mailing address in the January e-mail newsletter.
As our membership grows, our newsletter mailing list has become increasingly difficult for the treasurer and others who use it to manage. We must now restrict the list to members whose dues are current.
Unless you've made prior arrangements and if Joan hasn't received your dues by March 3 your name will no longer appear on the list and you'll no longer receive the newsletter nor enjoy the privileges of membership (borrowing equipment or library items, taking classes, selling at the craft sale, etc.).
MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ROC DAY - THIS SATURDAY (1/7)
At this Saturday's meeting we'll be celebrating Roc Day, which honors spinners around the world.
Please bring food to share and a serving utensil if it's needed. We'll have power strips for crockpots, etc., to keep things hot, but no means of keeping them cold. If your item needs to stay cold, please bring it in a cooler. If you want to drink something besides coffee or water, please bring it with you.
Because our schedule that day will be quite full, we will start a short business meeting shortly after 11:00. Our featured speaker, Dale Liles, will begin about 11:30. We'll eat lunch around 12:00 and have show and tell about 12:45.
For Show and Tell, please bring any handspun yarn or finished item that you're especially pleased to have made in 2011.

JANUARY MEETING - ROC DAY
Jenny Bennett and Mimi Kezer will be teaching and Jenny, Shereen Franklin and Lynn Hash will be vending at the Smoky Mountain Fiber Arts Festival in March.
Classes will include topics such as preparing your fleece for mill processing and how to build a fleece table with household tools.
To honor spinners around the world, we will be celebrating Roc (Distaff) Day during our January meeting with a potluck meal. Our program will be a special treat: Dale Liles will speak to us about the history of TVH.
Since Dale seldom gets to attend guild meetings, let's make an extra effort to have our Roc Day Show & Tell represent some of our most satisfying spinning in 2011.
Also, those who brought a scarf for the scarf challenge could bring it back for Dale to see.

Wovember
Wovember looks like a fantastic reason to celebrate wool during the month of November!
Their goal is to reclaim "wool," "wooly" and "woolen" for items actually made from 100% real wool and not from other man made or natural fibers. They also aim to reconnect the idea of wool to sheep and people involved in the creation and manufacture of 100% wool yarns and garments.
You can find more about the movement, participate in a friendly photo competition, learn about their textile industry petition, share wooly stories and more at wovember.com.
