Hey Yarnies541!
Hope everyone is enjoying this lovely weather over the long weekend!
We had a great movie time at The Sheep Detectives last night brought to us by Cozy and Stringfield. A very sweet, funny, and good time! Thank you Karen and Mo for coordinating the “lights up” showing for all of us!
(L) Susan, Karen, and Bernice having a laugh before the show. (R) Bernice really enjoyed the movie!
The meeps were a success at the NAMI walk last weekend! Meep maker basket winner is Mindy H. coming in with 107 meeps! Congratulations Mindy! Basket incoming.
Always Be Kind Yarn, Sage Casey Foundation, and Yarnies541 shared a table to support mental health in our community. Thank you to the Yarnies541 members that came to table with us and walk with the Always Be Kind Team! People were exclaiming at all of the cute meeps/pocket hugs and how different all of them were. Such an eye catcher and we were able to make a lot of connections in the community with them. We even got to see Caesar the No Drama Llama!
Weekly meetups continue through the summer: Tuesdays at Ninkasi Patio in Eugene and Thursdays at Oakshire Commons in Springfield. See the Yarnies541 calendar here for more info.
