For years members of the Tin Pedlars have looked forward to the September meeting which signifies the start of a new program year for our association. While COVID-19 has impacted how we are able to gather inside at this time the Board decided to see about holding an outside meeting. We thank all who responded to our survey about staying connected and informed. The many positive responses to an outdoor gathering in the church’s park lot allowed us to go forward with that. The weather while cool allowed for a Sept. gathering with facial coverings and social distancing.

While we all missed being able to hold our normal meeting, for those present the outdoor meeting was a positive experience. If only we had warmer weather ahead we’d do it again for sure.

The Presidents didn’t hold a traditional business meeting, but they shared that the church isn’t open for inside meetings yet, so we are moving forward with using Zoom for the future. Our Vice Presidents have been working hard to provide opportunities to future our learning using technology that is available to us at this time again using responses from the survey. We will be sending out email reminders, as well as, keeping this website and Facebook updated on the monthly programs.

Those present shared what has been happening in their lives since last we met. Then those that had brought projects with them shared what they have completed and/or been working on. The membership of the Tin Pedlars is definitely a creative group and that creativity extends beyond rug hooking. Please enjoy some images of what was shared:
