October 26, 2008 We met today in NH for an "Autumn Festival" where Fishnets were treated to a luncheon of butternut squash lasagna, salad, bread, homemade shortbread, apple pie, and freshly pressed cider. In addition to visiting with one another, Items for our 2008 charity project were collecte, tagges, and prepared for gifting. All of these crocheted goodies are going to the Battered Women's Shelter. Fishnets are donating hats, scarves, tops, and shawls to women and children in need. We were all amazed at what we had managed to accumulate.
