Here it is March already – seems like we just finished knitting Christmas gifts. Speaking of holidays, “Ramadan Mubarak” to our Muslim members as they start the month of Ramadan today.

Also today (March 1) is the Houston Craft Community Day and KANG is now a part of it! This is a free event highlighting local craft groups. KANG will have a table there with volunteers to talk about knitting and the Guild. It will be held at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, 4848 Main St., 77002 from 11am to 3pm.

I hope you have heard at your chapter meetings that we need a nominating committee to select next year’s officers. We would like at least one member from each chapter. This is a short-term commitment (now through the middle of May). Please let me know if you can join this committee; I would like to have the committee in place by the middle of March so they can start looking for officers. Also, if you would like to volunteer to be an officer next year, the open positions are as follows:

• KANG Secretary
• KANG Treasurer
• Charity Chair
• Retreat Chair
• Workshop Chair

On my needles now is the Ivy Vest, a very fun and easy project. Also, I’m working on Dragon Watcher’s Hood, a gift for my niece in Wisconsin where the woods are said to be full of dragons.
