    In keeping with the Holiday Spirit, for this meeting we ask you to bring in a project (or plans for a project) for a Holiday gift to share with the members.  The project or plans should be something which could be completed on a weekend.

    This doesn’t need to be something you recently made.  It could be a set of plans or a drawing of a project you want to build or have built.  

    If you send or bring the plans to us, we will upload them to our website so they can be shared with all Guild members.  We will also take pictures of your projects.  These plans and pictures will end up as a library, an idea bank, of plans and photos for Holiday gifts which our members can access throughout the year.
