- KNITTY TIME!!!!! (knit, knit, knit, knit, knit, knit, knit, knit, purl, purl, purl, purl, purl, purl, purl....you get the idea)
- Time to create the treasurer! Celia was appointed treasurer last night, after we decided that it would be best to have a checking account for the group. We're thinking of going to commerce soon, and setting it up. This way, we'll have somewhere to keep the money that we'll spend on knitting supplies and advertisements. Eventually, when we get big enough, we'll be able to save up money to donate to organizations. IDK, we'll have to wait and see.
- Knitting Olympics talky time! We're thinking about renting out Loose Park for a couple of hours this summer so that we can have the event, but we don't really know how that process works as of yet....and so I'll be doing some research for a little while. :) We didn't add any new events to the program, but we did discuss sponsors, donations, and food. Right now, we aren't sure whether or not we'll have an entry fee...it depends on what sponsors we can get and what they'd like for us to do. As for having a picnic at the event, the details on that can't be decided upon until we decide whether or not we'll charge an entry fee. Soooooo...that means that we're going to be looking into finding sponsors for a while since we can't do anything until we get some.
That's pretty much all that happened last night! It was really fun, and I'm glad to note that we have a new addition to our immediate group-Tosha! Now, our regulars that come to the meetings include: Celia, Amanda, Ross (absent yesterday! tsk, tsk), Ashlie, Tosha, and me. Yay for us!!!!
Oh! Last note=If you live in the Kansas City area, please stop by at our next meeting. *cute puppy dog face* I'm sure that you'll love it, if you enjoy knitting, talking, and hanging with friends. Half of our time is spent knitting, and half of our time is spent discussing stuffs. It's really fun, and I hope you can make it. Our next meeting is on April 24th @ 5:00 pm. The meeting is at the Trails West Kansas City Public Library (11401 East 23rd Street Independence, MO 64052), in meeting room A. Hope to see you there! (psssst...we have snacks, too!!!!)

Here's some information about renting the park, taken off the KCMO website.
The Parks and Recreation Department issues permits for various events in our parks throughout the city. For a complete list of parks or to make a request for a park permit, call (816) 513-7500. The park permit office is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m..
Also, w/ the Olympics, we should make a post/ad soon, listing all the events and a possible schedule for the day itself. A way to contact us (besides at the library) would be good too, for people to sign up, so maybe the yahoo email address.
Okay, I'll call this place on Monday. As for the ad, I completely agree but every time that I bring it up nobody offers up any ideas. If we want ads and flyers, I think it'll just be you and I, Celia.
*sad face*
I wish more people were serious when they talked about getting involved. Like, with the little stuff, you know?
Of course, if people can't make it to meetings then I suppose they don't know the details about what we're working on.....
Note: I need to start asking people if they're interested in helping out with stuff more often then I do now. It's not enough.
