Gateway Chapter - St. Louis, MO

2009-2010 Chapter Programs

Click the month for a detailed description of activities.

In addition to each month's program, there are two continuing programs.

Member Show and Tell--Bring your "works in progress" and your "finished projects" to share before the program begins.

Member Challenge--The rules are simple - at any chapter event, get a red ticket from the President, write your name on the back, and put it into the official blue zippered pouch. At the Spring luncheon in June, one ticket will be drawn from the pouch and the lucky winner will receive a free local ANG membership for one year - a $22.00 value! The president is the keeper of the tickets and the pouch, so the next time you're at a meeting, a workshop, a fundraiser, or any other chapter-sponsored event, sign your ticket!
