Activities - Past, Present and Future
|
|
|
| Needle Arts Show at Baldwinsville Public Library - an exhibit of member's needleart works displayed every other year |
| Auction - an auction held once a year where members can donate unfinished projects to be sold to others. |
| Outreach Programs - Needle related volunteer activities: e.g. knitted or crocheted caps and hand sewn dolls for hospital nurseries and pediatric wards. |
| Billie Award - Named for its originator, Hildred "Billie" Stoughton. Members pledge to finish a project by the June meeting that had begun a long time ago. Those who finish receive this award. Those who don't finish pay a fine of $5 to the treasury. |
| Show and Share - The part of the meeting where members' completed projects are displayed and admired |
| Golden Needle Award - Each member who participates in Show and Share fills out a ticket for each completed project. A drawing is held at each meeting and the winner is awarded a golden needle. At the end of the year, one ticket is drawn from all tickets submitted for the entire year and the member's drawn name receives a free year's membership. |
| Petite Projects - Small projects received yearly by the president of each EGA chapter. The designs and instructions may be copied for use only as a scheduled program. The designers of each of these mini-projects still reserve all rights, but share their designs with other chapter and regional groups. |
| Educational Opportunity Fund - At each meeting, members are offered a chance to contribute to the educational fund in return for the opportunity to win a prize. Funds are used for chapter educational projects. |
| Stitch-ins - Informal gatherings held outside of normal meeting times where members get together and stitch. |
