1. FEBRUARY MEETING
Our February all-day meeting will be Sunday, February 3, from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm at the Darien Municipal Center, 1710 Plainfield Road, Darien. Instead of a typical workday, this meeting will be more of a techniques buffet! Listed below are the scheduled technique demos and presenters, along with any supplies you should bring to try those techniques yourself.
