Note from the President
I cannot believe that summer is almost over. Where did the days go? I hope everyone
had a good one and enjoyed vacations and visits from grandchildren. We are finalizing plans for
the start up of the Fall and Winter at the Club. Please read the newsletter carefully to find out all
of the details and what you need to do.
The Fall Luncheon will be September 5th at Northfield Center. Please make your
reservation for lunch by sending a check to Barbara Woodcock in the amount of $14.00, payable
to Barb. Mark on the memo line what your menu choice is.
Be sure to take home your new Membership Directory. They will be on the tables for
you to pick one up. The class list and meeting dates are included in the directory in addition to
names of members. The directory is something you just can’t get along without.
Fall/Winter Class Sign-up will begin at 11:00 for members; 10:30 for teachers. Be sure
to bring small money to pay fees for the classes you sign up for. Bring your calendar so you can
keep track of all of the classes - there are many to choose from this year.
If you have not exhibited your craft work at the studio, there are opportunities this winter.
This space is for projects that you have done away from the studio, not necessarily from classes
you have taken. Call Jayne Epperson, to make arrangements for your display.
FALL LUNCHEON AND CLASS SIGN-UP
The Fall luncheon will take place on September 5, 2007, at Northfield
Center . Sign- up for classes begins promptly at 10:30 A.M. for members.
Lunch will be served at 12:00 Noon.
We have selected the following menu choices: Fruit Plate which includes
assorted fresh fruits, cottage cheese on a bed of lettuce and a mini muffin
or Sliced Turkey and celery dressing with whipped potatoes, gravy, green
beans with onion and bacon. Rolls and butter are included. Assorted
cakes will be served for dessert. Iced tea and hot coffee are the beverages
being served. The price is $14.00.
All reservations and money must be received no later than August 23rd.
Make check payable to Barbara Woodcock and mail to Barb at 248 Golf
Road , Springfield , IL 62704 .
INDICATE ENTREE ON YOUR CHECK MEMO LINE:
FRUIT PLATE OR SLICED TURKEY
Springfield Ceramics and Craft Club
Class List Fall 2007
I hope you can find classes that you will enjoy, learn a "new" craft, or refresh a previous
skill. This year classes are scheduled for mornings, afternoons, and evenings during the
week and Saturday. Evening classes are scheduled from 6:00 -8:00 P.M. during
daylight saving time. This was a request by some at the Spring Luncheon.
Sign up for fall and winter classes will start at 10:30 A.M. before the Fall Luncheon.
Please keep a list of the classes you sign up for and attend or let the teacher know if
you are not able to attend. All kit fees and cost for the class are due at the sign-up.
Please, plan ahead and have cash or a check for the teachers on Sept 5 as
supplies must be purchased by the teachers with the kit fees and kits assembled.
Supply list for classes with either additional supplies not in the kit or no kit will be
available at the Fall Luncheon. Please, keep this list as all classes will be on it. It will
remind you of classes selected and others that may have openings during the year.
Have a good year Crafting!!
Stella Taft
Classes without a kit fee will have a supply list available at the sign up
day. Some classes with a kit will require additional supplies.

ENDOWMENT FUND
Please don’t forget about the SCCC Endowment Fund. Do you have a friend or relative in whose
memory you could make a donation? As you update your wills, have you considered a donation to
the Endowment Fund? Our goal is $10,000 so that we can use the interest for club expenses and
club and/or community projects. For further information, please contact Dot Hasselbring at 5467140.
DISPLAY WALL
The Club is pleased to exhibit the work of Carol Leach and Louise Donaldson. Carol is
displaying her beautiful embroidery pieces. Louise has combined her basket weaving skills and
her brilliant stained glass. Their display will continue until the end of October.
Our Club is full of talented people. However, few members volunteer to display their
talents. We need a member or members to call me at 217-787-0453 (email
[email protected]) and offer to display their crafts for the months of November through
February, and March through June.
Jayne Epperson, Display Chair
Community Service Make-a-Thon
for
Basket of Hope
As you all know by now, we are looking forward to our Community Service
“Make –A-Thon for Basket of Hope” Wednesday, August 22- 9:00 A.M. - 3:00
P.M. (Kristin Jorgensen @ 364-4707)
Bring lunch or go out to lunch and come back for afternoon session. This is
a great way to earn class credits and provide a much-needed community service for
the Basket of Hope program. You will not be able to take your things home, but
we will be taking pictures and will have a photographic display at the Table Setting
Luncheon instead of a displayed craft. (If you enjoy taking pictures, we could sure
use your help with this aspect. Call K. Jorgensen.)
You DO NOT have to actually make something but we will need help cutting
out patterns, pinning, ironing, etc. Also, Addie Farris, Director of the Springfield
BOH, will be there with all the supplies to make up baskets as new preemie baby
items are completed and she would welcome your help with this. Bring any items you
have made over the summer to include in the baskets.
For all of you who sew, knit, and crochet: What to bring: Sewing machine and/or
serger, scissors, thread (light colors), pins, rotary cutters and mats, needles, stuffing
pokers, a fringe template if you have one, material -- see collection list below.
LABEL ALL SUPPLIES WITH YOUR NAME!!!
COLLECTION LIST: Material ( fleece (baby prints only), flannel, baby
knits (like Carter’s baby things) for onesies, gowns and caps, knit ribbing for
around necks, etc., thread in light colors; yarn for baby things (Ask Stella Taft
what weight is correct); Sewing/knitting/crocheting patterns for preemie babies
(xxs) and small stuffed animals (JoAnn Fabrics and Hobby Lobby put Simplicity
and McCall's on sale for $.99 periodically) new or used (with all the pieces) are
welcome.
If you knit, crochet or hand sew and want a comfortable chair to work in
please bring your own lawn chair. If you tend to be cold in the air conditioning,
please bring a sweater because the room will be kept cool. Thank you.
ANYONE MAY DONATE ITEMS AND SUPPLIES FOR THIS PROGRAM
ANYTIME BEFORE AUG 22, AND LEAVE THEM IN BIG BASKET UNDER THE
PHONE STAND IN THE COAT ROOM OR CALL KRISTIN AT 364-4707 FOR
PICK UP.
“Members who come into the club for purposes other
than classes are asked to sign the register on the small
table next to the phone at the main entrance. Your
help will be much appreciated.”
