2 December 2014 Christmas Potluck Dinner & Large Colour Project Challenge! Our December 2014 meeting was a great success. Our thanks to all of the guild members who contributed food for our Pot Luck Dinner and a special note of thanks to Bonita and Linda, our Executive members in charge of Social for coordinating all the food and meal service. To each of you who ventured out and patiently made your way to the meeting through very icy road conditions and awful traffic conditions, we thank you! Enjoy the photos of the meeting and of the Large Colour Project Challenge, our personal best knitting challenge focusing on the use of colour. I love this group photo! What a great group of knitters! Thank you so much for a great 2014!!2

7 Recipe for a Happy New Year Author Unknown Take twelve whole months. Clean them thoroughly of all bitterness, hate, and jealousy. Make them just as fresh and clean as possible. Now cut each month into twenty-eight, thirty, or thirty-one different parts, but don't make up the whole batch at once. Prepare it one day at a time out of these ingredients. Mix well into each day one part of faith, one part of patience, one part of courage, and one part of work. Add to each day one part of hope, faithfulness, generosity, and kindness. Blend with one part prayer, one part meditation, and one good deed. Season the whole with a dash of good spirits, a sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play, and a cup full of good humor. Pour all of this into a vessel of love. Cook thoroughly over radiant joy, garnish with a smile, and serve with quietness, unselfishness, and cheerfulness. You're bound to have a happy new year. All the best in 2015!!7
