Crochet Twin Cities is growing online and at the State Fair.

2022 State Fair

Our August 10 meeting will be at the Maplewood Library.  This month's meeting will be more focused on business, but someone is always available to help, so bring your project, materials for a nametag or small giveaways and your ideas & suggestions.  We'll be looking for nominees for the 2025 officer elections, which will be held in October, firming up plans for the rest of this year and getting a start on 2025 planning.

Exciting news, CTC now has a Facebook group: Crochet Twin Cities Group | Facebook, in addition to our Facebook page: CTC Page | Facebook.  The group has the advantage of allowing group members to interact with us and each other rather than all of the content coming from our social media gurus (not that they don't do an excellent job).  

Our group has reached an all-time high of over 60 official members!   You can be part of our group, by joining us on social media, and attending events that are open to the public, but to be an "official" member, you need to submit a form (pdf version available on our About Us & Member Policy pages or online form through the menu) AND pay the dues or request a scholarship.  The benefits of official membership include the monthly newsletter delivered to your inbox, access to handouts & educational materials and a roster of member, and to the few meetings and events that are limited to official members only.

One of the benefits for official members is to demonstrate at the State Fair.   We will be in the Creative Arts building on the corner of Dan Patch & Cosgrove, on Thursday, August 22 and Sunday, September 1.
