From Luceta on the unofficial BMDL Facebook Group:

The Fiber Guild had demo in the children’s museum last Thursday (8 December 2016), and it went smashingly well. Many many thanks to Rivka for spinning, and carding ,and making dozens of fluffy sheep with the youngest museum goers, and to Rufina for getting in touch with the museum at the Makers’ Faire, which started this whole thing. (Also many thanks to Angus for printing and cutting out all those sheep.)
The museum was very happy with us, and would like to have us back! So those of you who started their clearance paperwork, but couldn’t have it processed in time – there will be more opportunities!

We had a great space the studio, and a very official poster (in pictures) and lots of visitors! It was wonderful to talk to the kids and their parents about wool, and seeing their eyes light up when they get to touch the wool and spin the wheel, and pet the sheep puppet. (Greatest epiphany of the day:” Mom, look, they have the same glue as us!”) here are some pictures!

Here are the minutes from the December Officer’s Meeting:

The next Officer’s Meeting will be on Wednesday, 1 February 2017. Location TBA.

Due to the cold, we are going to play tomorrow safe inside, and we will not be having archery at the usual site this sunday.

Your captain of archers recommends some hot coco tomorrow morning.

Greetings,

We have now switched to our winter site for this year, the Pittsburgh Chinese Church and will be there through the winter months from 2-6 on Sundays.

We will not be holding practice on Sunday December 25 and Sunday January 1, as a poll of the regular attendees said that most people would be inexplicably busy or recovering from the night before on those days.

Looks like the weather will be passable for archery this Sunday. Come join us tomorrow morning for some Archery!

11:30 – 3pm
Figure, we would start a little later than usual to allow the temperature to warm up a smidgin.

We’ll have royal rounds, and the Gwyntarian Challenge. Hope to see you out there.

The December Officers Meeting will be on Wednesday, 7 December 2016 on the campus of Carnegie Mellon University in Porter Hall A18A. The meeting starts at 8:00p and ends at 10:00p.

If you haven’t gone into hibernation just yet, Your Captain of Archers will be on site with targets and equipment for some archery practice. Come on down between 11am and 2pm. Please dress for cold weather.
