Fall 2024 President's Letter

Are you starting to think about Fall sewing?  I’m working on a “teacher” wardrobe for my daughter who just started her professional career.
 
Robin Pruitt attended the National ASG Conference held in San Francisco representing the Kansas City Chapter. The conference attendance was still quite small compared to pre-pandemic numbers.   This was the last national conference in an in-person format.  ASG membership continues to decline nationally. Our chapter membership has held steady this year.  I welcome suggestions for engaging our members to keep the Kansas City Chapter active.    If you have suggestions, please let me or another CAB member know.     
 
We have a few events coming up this Fall including a community service event hosted by the Southeastern Jackson County neighborhood group and our annual chapter meeting on Oct 19 at The Fabric Chic in Parkville.
 
You will see a copy of the ballot of officers for the 2025 Chapter Advisory Board in the newsletter.  I’m excited to where this new slate of officers takes the Chapter in the coming year!
 
If you are interested in serving on the Chapter Advisory Board in any capacity, please reach out to me or any member of the current CAB.   We would love to see new faces and hear new ideas.
 
I encourage you to attend a neighborhood group meeting to spend time with those who share your sewing interests.
 
Happy Sewing!
Jill
