Fly Like a Butterfly: June Meeting

LtoR: Grace, HHCC Pres; Jack, SVP of LB; Kathy, HHCC member The June meeting featured guest, Jack Blumenthal, Senior Vice President of Lion Brand. This was Jack's first time visiting with the HHCC'ers, and he delighted our members with facts and trivia about Lion Brand.

While Jack spoke to our group, members worked on crocheting butterflies for the Butterfly Project. Thus far the Club has 23 created and will continue to collect them (to be shipped at a later date).

HHCC member, Nancy, has taken over the position of HHCC Librarian, and has compiled a comprehensive list of material that will be available for loan to HHCC members. This list will be uploaded to the HHCC Yahoo group, and later added to the HHCC website for easy viewing. The HHCC is delighted to add Vanna White's popular book, Vanna's Choice Color It Beautiful Afghans to our growing library collection. Vanna's book was donated and autographed by Jack.

The HHCC would like to thank Jack, and Lion Brand, for their time & generosity. The HHCC hopes to have Jack visit with us again next year. :)
