Our Meetings
|
Our meetings are held on the third Saturday of every month (see any exceptions below) at The Church of Christ, 346 Strathmore Blvd., Toronto (Coxwell and Danforth area). The Church is directly across from the Coxwell subway station. All scheduled specialty classes are held from 1:00pm - 3:00pm Each meeting involves a POT LUCK LUNCH (each member MUST bring a food offering as this is part of your membership dues) and doors open at 10:30 with the meeting running to approximately 2:30 - 3pm. Our "OPEN STITCH" class runs from 10:30 to 11:30 am. This means we have an instuctor standing by during that hour (longer if needed) to help with guidance for beginners and crochet problems anybody may be having. There is no charge for this service but you must be a current (paid) member of the Toronto Hookups Guild to participate. Our members are REQUIRED to provide 12, 8" acrylic squares per year to meet their membership requirement. The squares help us support our official charity, WARMING FAMILIES. If a member is unable to provide 12 squares per membership year there are other ways you can contribute to this cause such as yarn or cash donations. Lunch is at 12 noon, followed by a brief business meeting. All scheduled specialty classes or speakers will occur from approximately 1:00 to 3:00pm.
