ANG Seminar February 2018 - 2

President's Letter

Credits

I want to personally invite you to Stars, Stripes, and Stitches. What a great name for
the 2018 ANG Seminar. If you missed the last Seminar in DC now is your chance to
make your own memories.

Managing Editor
Christin Loudon

ANG Seminar is my favorite event of the year because it is all about me and my
passion. I don't have to cook, clean or keep track of people or pets. I can stitch any
time, any place, talk till I'm worn out, and eat and drink without worrying about my
diet. At Seminar I get to spend time with people I like and who are as crazy about
needlepoint as I am.
If the only problem you have is a family that doesn't want you to have fun by yourself,
bring them along. DC is a family vacation place with something for everyone. They
can be busy from breakfast till bedtime. You won't have to worry about them and you
can enjoy your needlepoint friends and all of the activities. If you need to come by
yourself, don't worry. You will never be lonely with needlepointers around. The hotels
agree that our group is fun, a little crazy, but always friendly. With needle and thread in
your hand, you will always find a friend.
So come to DC and stitch, laugh, and make friends. I can't wait to see you.

Invitations

Your crazy stitching friend,
Jan Herod
