Our meetings are held the third Saturday of every month from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. A typical meeting consists of a presentation or activity on a topic relevant to our membership, block lottos and challenge activities, announcements, a bit of business and an opportunity to socialize in a casual atmosphere. We also love Show and Tell; and usually plan in a lot of time for sharing! Meetings are held at Meissner Sewing & Vacuum, 2417 Cormorant Way, Sacramento, unless otherwise noted.
