WELCOME NEW BOARD MEMBERS

Robbie Berg and Steve Gallegos!

Last Saturday, June 27th, we hosted our annual all-members board meeting. Outgoing board members Dain Daller, Leigh Alexander, and Mark Bond stepped down at the end of their terms, and we voted to welcome on these two new members to our Board of Directors.

Youth Fiber Studio

Three weeks of summer camp wrapped up in June, and what a joy it was!

We’ve been sharing photos and camper creations from rigid heddle weaving, spinning and dyeing, macramé, and sewing over on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

Campers left each week with at least two fabulous finished projects—and, from what we could tell, plenty of smiles, good memories, and maybe even new friendships, too.

Our July Sessions run for two more weeks: July 20–24 and July 27–31.

Then, save the date for our Summer Camp Showcase & Open House on Saturday, August 1!

From 12-3pm at EVFAC we’ll have demos and hands-on crafts for the whole family, a pizza party sponsored by Dion’s, a frozen dessert treat, and, of course, a Camp Showcase celebrating the wonderful work local youth created at camp this summer.

We’re also working to raise a final $4,000 by the end of July to help close out the first part of the year without a deficit, while continuing to support camp costs and general operating needs. We’ll have some very exciting funding news to share later this month, but community donations are still essential to help us finish this first half of the year strong.

If you’re able, please consider making a general donation or a camp sponsorship donation this month and help us close this final July goal.

We’d like to extend our gratitude to our July Session Sponsors for their generosity and support. Their contributions help make this work possible and directly support meaningful creative opportunities for local youth.

Around Town

A note about Fall Fiber Fiesta!

We’ll be updating the Event’s webpage as information becomes available, and that will be the number one place to find the most current Fall Fiber Fiesta details.

We kindly ask that you not call the store for information about Fall Fiber Fiesta at this time, as staff do not yet have additional details to share—and once details are finalized, they’ll simply be relaying the same information posted online. Please open our newsletters and check the website first and often for updates before calling - Thank you!
