Jane Austen Book Club meets Monday at 6 pm

Next Monday, February 11th at 6:00 pm, the Jane Austen Book Club meets in the MacIntyre room in the Carnegie Building, 244 W. Michigan Ave.  We have lots to talk about, especially last Sunday's Austen biopic on Masterpiece Classics.

Henrietta's Knitting Group

Henrietta's Knitting Group meets every Wednesday at 1:00 PM.  We all have different interests and skill levels, but all share the same love for yarn.  My personal goal is to finally knit myself a sweater that fits! We all have a number of projects in the works, some for family members, and some for charities. Eveyone is welcome, so bring your current project and join us for a fun filled hour...or just bring yourself and we'll teach you how to knit!
