Hi All,
Are there any farmgirls living in West Central Wisconsin who would like to develop a chapter?
There are two listings - one for Hixton and one for Arcadia - but after emailing with Julie and Dawn who run them, nothing has actually gotten off the ground yet. Maybe we can change that?
So if you live between LaCrosse and Eau Claire (or surrounding areas, and would like to MEET between LaCrosse and Eau Claire), would you please post here so we know how many gals might be up for getting together?
I live in Augusta (near Foster, south of Eau Claire) and I would love to host a chapter here, but I can't, having four large house dogs who were all rescues and who have abominable manners. Unless you want to meet out in the goat barn.
Seriously, I'd like to get together with a group of like-minded ladies who enjoy gardening, crafts, animals, the outdoors - even if it is for coffee at McDonald's. Or maybe Alternative Grounds in Independence would be more in keeping with the MaryJane lifestyle!
Let's hear from you. Maybe we can form a network and help each other out with some projects, or teach one another some new skills.
Have a lovely day!

Thanks, Rene' - it's on your good advice that I think we, in this neck of the woods, should give this a shot. :)

Hi Julie, great, you're here too! I thought we could see here if there was anyone else interested, and then all agree on time/place/frequency?
For me, I'm thinking once a month is something I could definitely commit to.

I'm just going to shoot a suggestion out here... What if we were to get together to just discuss future get-togethers, and we shot for the second Saturday in May (the 9th)? And what if we sort of looked at the "Second Saturday" of each month to meet (locations to be discussed at our first meeting in May) from then on, as it's easy to remember?
Would that work with folks' schedules?
I'd love to do it this Saturday, but that's short notice, and I am awaiting a donkey delivery that was supposed to happen last weekend, but which was postponed... I can't leave it to DH to handle alone. Of course, the rest of you could start this Saturday if you wanted! :)

Hi there Stasia,
I would also be interested in joining the group. I live south of Osseo by Northfield. I can meet on the 9th for a informal meeting of the minds! Sounds like a great plan... just keep me posted on where and a time.  |

Either place would be fine by me. I am reserving May 9th. :) My friend Michelle from Black River Falls will likely attend as well, as she is very interested in "joining up" also. Thanks Dawn!

Good Morning Stasia,
We'll wait and see who else can attend and then make the decision on which place to have it at. The most centralized spot is the best I think????
I will see if I can round any other of my friends up as well. See you on the 9th.

I am planning on coming from the Foster/Augusta/Osseo area. Early afternoon would work best for me, as well as my friend Michelle, who plans on coming from Black River Falls.
Looking forward to meeting everyone! I need some coffee/knitting/off-farm time for sure! ;)
Thank you,
Stasia

Hi Ladies, going to keep an eye on what you have going on. I am over an hour away, to the north, but if I would get the chance, I would sure try to plan a trip to meet with you. If you would not mind a drop in! I know I can't come in May, but maybe sometime.
Have fun

Just letting you know, I won't be able to make that. If I get my oats in, I am hoping to go the the Shephards Harvest, by the cities. but field work comes first. Have fun.

I can't speak for the others (though hopefully I didn't talk their ears off the whole time!) but I had a GREAT time meeting the gals this past Saturday! I believe we all found out we had much in common, and we even knew many of the same people.
I'm looking forward to learning about apron sewing and quilting from Julie, and about running a B&B, as well as doing watercolors, from Dawn... Michelle brought her daughter and next time, the gals are looking to bring other family members to join in as well.
I'm going to try to round up a few more friends for the June meeting and I hope the others will, too - we're looking at the SECOND SATURDAY in June, so anyone else who'd like to come out and play, mark that date on your calendar!
I'd like to suggest "Show & Tell" for a possible theme for the next meeting... bring current craft/art/farm project, as well as some pics of your critters! :) But whatever else anyone would like to do/discuss is fine by me. It was great just to hang out and have coffee and share a laugh or two.
THANKS, ladies!

HI There Ladies,
I enjoyed myself as well. I really was amazed at how we all know some of the same people. Small world indeed.
I look forward to our next meeting.
I think that sounds great Stasia for our next meetings theme. I will bring photos and also my lace project as I am sure I will still be working on it. Going slow but sure.....
Does anyone have any idea on where we should meet? We should decide soon so we can tell our friends where we are meeting. It will be a deciding factor for some of them I am sure. Any ideas?
Well you ladies have a super week...... thanks for showing up and sharing. Dawn |
