Dear Jane et al, thanks for your ideas, especially the restaurant idea, which I hadn't thought of before. There are a number of family style restaurants in the area that might be willing. I have responded privately to all emails concerning this topic, and I especially liked the store idea, which was a new one. In Lancaster that would probably mean a quilting store, as this is quilt country, but who knows. The idea of schools put me in mind of our local 'university' (state teacher's college) that might be willing. Schools here are not overly community minded, although clearly they are in Britain. I have a very fond memory of going to a Lace Day in March 2006 at a public school somewhere in The Weald, an hour train ride south of London. I doubt there would be such a thing here in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
For anyone interested, if you get some mumbo jumbo when you're trying to email me, just ignore it. I deal with the Arachne posts on my 'suspect' email, hence the automated response, but I read all my Arachne mail there, or responses from a thread that's going on, right after I read my regular email, so unless you're expecting a response and don't get it for a day or two, don't bother to do whatever has to be done to contact me, because I'm checking that list as well. Lyn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA, where we're having a cold snap down to the usual temperatures for this time of year. 27F -5.5C, sunny and windy. But I've broken TWO threads this morning, and I'm not happy.
