April's Dust Collectors was a great success!

This past month has been very busy for many of us. I apologize... no pictures this time. I forgot the camera! We had yet another VERY successful Dust Collectors last Thursday at Mary's house. Mary~ ** Thank You ** for the amazing snacks and for hosting! We were treated to Crab Stuffed Mushrooms, Strawberries with Homemade Whip Cream, Cream Puffs, and a wonderful night of trading. This month some more expensive items were exchanged. Many of the ladies have expressed the desire to participate in a "game night." A "ladies only" game night is in the works. Details will be posted soon if you're interested in attending. Be sure to check back from time to time to keep up on any Dust Collector news. Stay tuned... and as always keep up on Collecting!

We have a poll up (to the right of your screen). If you have not yet voted... please do :) We'd like some new groups organized by summer. Nothing is set in stone and is subject to change. The groups are not yet organized. This is what we have in mind so far: ** Book Club~ will meet monthly: the first Wednesday of every month. Craft Group~ will meet only during the months of major calendar recognized holidays. The days will vary. Game Night~ will meet the first Friday Night of every month. Brunch Bunch~ will meet the last Saturday of every month (mid-morning). If you're interested in any of these groups, please vote! We would like to start up at least one of the groups. If there's enough interest we can do them all. Thanks for keeping up with us and we look forward to our next fun activity! See you soon~

Some new activities in the works...

Ladies... Are any of you interested in helping to start some new groups? We'd like to keep them on a monthly basis so we don't get too busy and take away from Dust Collectors. However, in visiting with everyone it seems we're all enjoying the break from our daily routine. If you're interested in any groups or have some ideas of your own... please take the Poll (to the right of the screen). You can select as many as you're interested in. And, if you have any ideas of your own... please send us a quick email to the www.vegasdustcollectors@gmail.com and we'll be happy to add them to our poll. Thanks. Hope your Christmas is a great one and we're looking forward to some fun this coming year!
