We continue to have many opportunities to promote rug hooking throughout the month of April. Here's a list of things we can all participate in. We'll send out reminders as the month unfolds!
The same info below appears in the Upcoming Events tab at the top of the page.
Tuesday April 11, noon to 2 pm, Art Gallery of Northumberland
DEMONSTRATORS NEEDED
20 high school students from Port Hope will visit the gallery for a tour and a chance to learn how to do rug hooking. Dianne is amassing supplies, but we need folks there to demonstrate/teach the students. The goal is that they end up with a small completed item to take home.

Thursday April 20, 10 am to noon, Art Gallery of Northumberland
DEMONSTRATORS NEEDED
45 students from CR Gummow PS (grades 3-4) will visit the gallery for a tour, with a focus on pioneer rug hooking. They also are hoping to try out rug hooking and take home a completed item. Dianne suggests that, instead of heading to Halcyon Place for our usual Thursday gathering, we go to the Art Gallery instead.
- we had originally earmarked this day to bring in rugs destined for display at the Annual, but we postpone that until the following Monday.

Friday April 21, 1:30 pm, Art Gallery of Northumberland
DEMONSTRATORS NEEDED
Sheila Simpson has arranged for the University Women's Group to visit the gallery for a tour. Joyce and Dianne will be on hand to provide commentary.

Monday April 24, 10 am, Grace Church
This is our normal Monday meeting. Please bring any items that you want to display at the Annual, and we'll work on doing a mock up of the eventual display at the Annual. There is lots of room for us to come up with the most pleasing layout.
+++++++++++++++++
Friday April 28, 9 am - 4 pm, Cobourg Community Centre
Sunday April 30, 4 pm - 6 pm, Cobourg Community Centre
This is the weekend of the Annual (yes!), and we will need all hands on deck to set up the displays on Friday and to take them down again on Sunday afternoon. On Friday we will need bodies to help out our own branch to set up, as well as to assist out of town branches to do the same thing. Vendors may also need help carting their wares into the CCC. On Sunday we get to do it all again in reverse - dismantling the whole shebang.
For this opportunity, we need as many folks as possible to help out. You don't need to be registered for the Annual, or even a rug hooker - spouses are welcome to join in.

Saturday April 29, 1 - 3 pm, Art Gallery of Northumberland
This is a reception for OHCG delegates to the Annual, and we are the official hosts! Joan Tooke is organizing refreshments (but anyone interested in baking a loaf/muffins can bring it along). We'll need to have some folks on hand for this one.
