      I have posted this on my Facebook page. I am the director of the rainbow springs artist coop in Dunnellon. We are currently looking for a weaver to display and sell their work. If anyone is interested please let me know. Thanks

      Thanks, but I’m in the same boat and trying to decrease such things. I appreciate the offer.

      The Friends of the Library used to have a booksale 2-3 times a year. You might check to see if they would take such periodicals.

  9. Veronica says:

    Hello there! my name is Veronica and I will love to learn needle felting. Do any of the members do that? I’d like to visit the club.

    • valeriakleiman says:

      Hi Veronica:
      I will ask the members. We did a workshop in needle felting and Im sure there are members who enjoy that craft. If you want to come to one of our monthly meetings, we’re a welcoming group. We meet monthly, and our next meeting is on Jan 14 (an additional meeting from our regular program). If you want I can add your email to the mailing list so you get the info .
