ABOUT US

 

We now have about 25 members who are from different parts of Wisconsin and also some from California, Arizona and even Colorado.  We are also a chartered member of the International Organization of Lace, Inc. (I.O.L.I.) which is a non-profit group.  

Every other year we decorate a Christmas tree that is between four and five feet tall and donate it to an organization.  They then put it on display and sell raffle tickets.  The last four times the tree has gone to the Hospice House here in Kenosha, WI.  Amounts collected for the trees have ranged from $350 to as high as $1,300.  The amount has been increasing every year.  Our tree is decorated with ornaments made in Bobbin Lace, Tatting, Teneriffe, Hardanger and Crochet. 

Our group meets once a month at either the Northside or Southside library in Kenosha.  Check the newsletter for location. We go on annual weekend retreats decided upon by our members.
