Upcoming Frugal Meetings!

Frugal Club member Cara reports regarding the August 25th meeting: "At today’s Frugal Club meeting, we made some plans for upcoming months and changed some dates around (pending room availability). Please make note and mark your calendars – all meetings are scheduled in 5-203 at noon. "

"September 22nd – Our semi-annual clothing and accessory swap. Start cleaning out your closets now! It’s been 6 months since our last, really successful, swap and it’s time to do it again."

"October 27th – A hobby swap! Lots of our members have gotten into – and out of – hobbies that are now crowding the storage spaces. If you have scrapbooking supplies, beading/jewelry supplies, knitting, quilting, soap making, candle making – whatever! – supplies that you’d like to swap with others, bring it to this meeting."

"December 8th – We’ve decided to merge the 11/24 and the 12/15 meeting into one meeting on the 8th. At this meeting, we plan to have a cookie exchange AND a “re-gifting” party! If you’d like to participate in the cookie exchange, bring two dozen cookies and take two dozen home. As far as the “re-gifting” party goes – we’ve all been given gifts that were never going to use, haven’t we? You receive them, say “Oh – it’s so beautiful!” and then put it in a closet never to be seen again. Well, here’s your chance to get rid of that white elephant. Oh – and to make it more interesting – wrap it up. Then we’ll exchange our re-gifts. Bring as many of them as you like and take that same number home. You may end up with something you really like! No buying anything new for this party (that would defeat the frugal purpose) – re-gifts only!"
