At the heart of each Chapter are the monthly meetings of the Neighborhood Groups. Our Chapter consists of six Groups that meet at the locations listed below. These groups provide an informal opportunity for "hands on" sewing experiences, friendly support and a place to meet other guild members to share sewing ideas and information. Members may attend as many Groups as they wish. At the present time the total membership of the Chapter is about 235.
