NOTE about Monthly Mending at the Octagon Center for the Arts

We will not be meeting in July (we all have outside obligations), and I will not be able to attend in August in September because…

I’ve been accepted into the Iowa DNR Field to Fork program this summer and am learning archery! I didn’t get a choice about timing, they were like - you are in, show up on these dates. Okay, will do. I’ll be back in mending action in the fall.

Sincerely,

Kristin M Roach
