New Year, New Semester, New Meetings

The New Year brings some changes into the club.  Our old haunt, Bar Guiliani, has closed down.  Therefore, we are forced to find an alternative meeting spot.  As a person who prefers to knit in comfort, rather than find a classroom, we are moving to another coffee shop.  Our new meetings will be at Cafe Paradiso, on the Corner of Lincoln and Nevada in Urbana.  It's just down the street from LAR, and the 22 Illini MTD bus makes frequent stops to LAR, so the trek is not so bad for those coming from Campustown/Champaign.  

Our meeting times have also changed.  We will now meet on Tuesday and Wednesday from 7:00pm to 8:00pm.  Our first meeting will be on the Tuesday after syllabus week, on January 27th, 2009.

Another change in this new year is our addition of a charity project.  All members are required to donate $2.00 to the cause, and any who wish to participate in the project will be supplied with the yarn.  The project we have chosen is to knit teddy bears for children afflicted with HIV/AIDs.  I'll post a link ASAP to the project details.  

Happy 2009!
