I joined Arachne in late 1995 and made lots of friends throughout the world.  I even visited their homes in Canada, Denmark, New Zealand and the UK.  It is nice to put faces to names and is something we always do at our Arachne get togethers at the IOLI convention.  I believe the first one was in Maryland where I met Tamara.  We organized it in a local restaurant and I think we had 12 or 13 present. Restaurants are too small for us now and too hard to find in another part of the country. Now we have had more than 30 attendees some years and as we have a free raffle where people bring whatever they want to share,  we quite often have enough prizes for everyone to take a reminder home. I have not heard from any local Arachne for the San Antonio get together. Has anyone else got news for us about a meeting time and place? I love the information that we can share and have taken part in the Christmas Exchange for many years, trying to come up with a new pattern each year.  Janice Janice Blair Murrieta, CA, jblace.com
