Hey Farmgirl Chapter Leaders!
I thought I'd start a thread where we can post all about what we are doing at our chapter meetings. I think it would be fun to see what other people are doing and get some great ideas for our own chapters!
Here's some talking points to get you started:
1. Post a photo or several photos from a meeting/outing.
2. Tell us what you did.
3. How many people showed up.
4. Anything quotable from the conversations!
5. What you would do different if you did it again.
6. Any advice/instructions you have for that particular meeting
7. If you're working on merit badges as a group
8. How much fun you've had! :)
Here's to sharing the fun!!!!
Farmgirl Hugs~
April

Farmgirls!
We've had a "million" meetings since I last posted... so here are a few snapshots of our fun!

Alpaca day at Whispering Oaks! Up close and personal with the sweet alpacas!
Mom and daughter owners, Tari and Dani in their little alpaca shop with beautiful fibers and more!
"Beef, It's What's For Dinner" night! A grand time talking about all things beef!
Bonnie taught a class on how to do a Dresden Plate Quilt. It was wonderful!
"Camp Food!" Night! Marcia taught us all about camping with 6 kids and how she prepares food, packs food, and buys food for camping. Lots of fun!
Chef Joe of Marshwatch Farm came and taught us all about cooking with eggs correctly. We learned a lot, ate some amazing dishes, and had a grand time together!
Stay tuned for more fun from River Valley Farmgirls!
Chapter leaders...share your fun with everyone and post your meetings here!

Thanks April for sharing the pics of your meeting. Every aspect of the meeting I fell in love with... from the wonderful project for the State Fair, to the bonsai trees that have always interested me, to the interesting recipe of pepper jelly on cream cheese. Oh, and don't let me forget about Bonnie's apron lessons..Hey, Bonnie, I LOVE your craft room! I am in the process of turning my sunroom into a sewing room.

Here we are in Bonnie's yard infront of her "barn" for our Farmgirl Meeting in August. The theme was "Farmgirl State Fair." We all brought projects we had been working on and some jams etc. that could be "judged." We also ate some yummy food and had great conversation. One of the highlights was seeing Bonnie and her husbands beautiful gardens in full bloom. At the end of the meeting we picked out fabric from her stash to make simple aprons and she taught everyone the basics. Thank you Bonnie for a great meeting! :)
Bonnie's husband taught us all about bonsai trees in their beautiful Japanese garden.
AnneMarie's yummy pepper jelly on cream cheese!

LNaturals aka Laurie shows off some of her fabulous projects for our "Farmgirl State Fair."
Hope you enjoyed a tiny view of our fun meeting!
Hugs,

I am trying to be the person my dogs think I am.
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

With a fantastic mother hen like April, you can hardly NOT have a good meeting. She has a new farm, new chickens and eggs, new bees and there will be a lot more to come. You go girl................. from the grandmother hen (bonnie)

Last night we had our June meeting and talked about herbs! We watched an herb video, made an herbal bug spray, made plant markers for our gardens and of course had lots of talking and some dessert. One of the gals even brought some mint starts to share!
Love hearing about everyone's meetings!!! Keep it coming!
Hugs~
April :)

What fun! I love this! Good to bounce ideas off each other for fun things to do. My chapter just celebrated our second year together. We just recently went to a tea room and antiquing in a small town. So much fun! Love my sisters!
