Mission Statement
Advancing sewing as an
art and life skill
Message from the President
Happy New Year! In this New Year, I am looking
forward to getting to know everyone a little better and
our becoming a much closer ASG Chapter.
Our first CAB (Chapter Advisory Board) meeting will
be held before our regularly scheduled chapter meeting
and you are encouraged to attend. The CAB meeting
will be at 5 pm on January 22. The regularly
scheduled chapter meeting will be immediately
afterward at 6:30. We still are in the planning stages of
this new ASG Chapter, and your help and input would
be greatly appreciated. Also, please consider
volunteering to serve on the CAB.
We have a great program planned for January.
Debbie Fleming has graciously offered to give us a class
on how to make mobeus scarves. Bring your machine
and go home with one or two finished scarves. You can
be one of the first to have a gift or two ready for
Christmas 2014 giving. St. Peter’s does have an
elevator near the entrance making it easy for us to help
you bring your machines to the meeting room.
Also, don’t forget to bring your sew and tell to our
meeting. For me, that is one of the highlights of each
meeting. It is amazing how talented you ladies are.
Neighborhood Group news about Community Service Projects:
The Rockin’ Bobbins Neighborhood Group has been very busy this past fall. We had two community service projects for the Buffalo/Niagara Chapter of the ASG. The first one was headed up by Donna Kathke and was for U*S*S*S* (United Stockings Sailors Soldiers) a Lockport based organization that collects Christmas stockings to be sent to military fighting for our country. This year we collected 145 stockings and baskets full of items to be placed in the stockings. The ladies of the Buffalo/Niagara Chapter were very generous in supplying the necessities for this so needed service. Many of the people who place themselves in harm’s way to protect our country have no one to send them gifts of any kind. The Santas, who distribute the stockings when they arrive at their foreign destination, have been selected by names that were collected locally. Thank you to all the ladies who helped make the 2013 U*S*S* S* a success – especially thank you to Donna Kathke for heading up this project. Our second community service project was the collection of dog blankets and beds to be distributed to Pixie Mamas Dog Rescue of Buffalo New York. This project was headed by Kathy Dublinski and dropped off by Toni Mertel. All together the group had 68 blankets and beds. Pixie Mamas were delightfully acceptable and so appreciative of the hard work that went into making the final products. This has been a cold start to the winter here in Western New York – so each of these came in very handy and much needed. I am happy to report that the Rockin’ Bobbins and the Buffalo Niagara Chapter committed to over 170 reported hours and many more that were not reported to me on these two great community services. Thank you, ladies for your generosity.
