The next issue of SAGANews

The next issue of SAGANews, Volume 39 Issue 4, will be in the mail very soon.

This issue contains some quick and easy Christmas ornaments as well as information from the SAGA Retreat in St. Louis. Of course, there is also the usual Chapter Chatter, which I know helps inspire many chapters, providing ideas for programmes and events.
                                               
                                             

Don't forget that if you have an idea, design or something you'd like to see in SAGANews,  then contact me at saganews.smocking.org and we will work together to make it happen!

I hope you enjoy this issue as I start getting ready to work on the next one!

Interesting Plaque

I was recently in the Red Hook area of Brooklyn, New York and taking a walk along the water front around old warehouses that have been restored and are starting to be used again for apartments and small businesses when I spotted this plaque on the wall.

What a wonderful way to be remembered!
