It’s Wednesday and that’s a good day to add a new member to the Fiber Talk team. This week Cindy Baldwin joins us. We get to learn about her needlework interests, Cyberpointers, entering needlework in state fairs, and painted canvas design and stitching. Join us tonight at 8:00 p.m. for the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour with guest Cindy Gershin. We’ll learn more about what judges look for in our needlework and how to improve our stitching. Also, mark your calendars for 2:00 p.m. July 30 as we celebrate World Embroidery Day with guests Natalie Dupuis, Kathy Andrews, and Barbara Hutson. Sunday’s guest: Virginia Postrel, author of “The Fabric of Civilization–Cindy and Gary

Loved hearing from Cindy! I’m a CyberPointers member and can vouch for the great meeting projects and classes – and truly appreciate the reduced fees that are offered for many classes. The CP chapter has kept me active in ANG (I don’t have a local chapter).
One comment about volunteering. At two different times in the past 10 or 12 years I reached out to ANG national about any volunteer tasks which could be done for only 5-10 hours a month. I work two jobs and for much of that time had a child to raise, so I wanted to spend no more than 2-3 hours per week volunteering. There just weren’t any opportunities; everything required a larger commitment. Organizations need to get better about finding small jobs that volunteers can do. Have a running list of 1- to 5-hour onesie tasks that folks could take on. Not everyone has the availability for the larger volunteer roles.
Just my $0.03!
