January 2025 E-Newsletter - Week 4

Join us on Saturday, February 8th, from 1-3 PM for our 2025 SEFAA Annual Meeting & Fiber Free-for-All: A Night of Community and Creativity!


Join us on February 8, from 1-3 PM for an afternoon that brings together SEFAA’s annual traditions with a fun and creative twist! Our 2025 Annual Meeting kicks off the afternoon, followed by our Fiber Free-for-All, an event you won’t want to miss.

The Annual Meeting will begin at 1 PM, and you can attend in person at the SEFAA Center or virtually via Zoom (just register to receive the link). This short and sweet meeting will include:


  • Presentation of the 2024 Annual Report.
  • Announcement of our Volunteer of the Year award.
  • Voting for our Board of Directors candidates.
  • Open discussion for your SEFAA-related ideas and questions.


Board Voting Info: SEFAA members, your vote is vital! Vote online before 3 PM on February 8th or in person at the meeting. Our Board candidates are Roxanne Brown, Jennifer Folsom, Brooke Frankum, Kristen Nicholas, and Diana Quinn. Candidate details and voting links have been emailed to all SEFAA members. Email or call 678.235.4328 if you have any questions.



After the meeting, it’s time for the Fiber Free-for-All! Bring a bag (any size) and fill it to the brim with as much fabric as you can carry—completely free! While there’s no charge for the fabric, we hope you will contribute an amount you feel is appropriate to help support SEFAA’s programming.


Come for the meeting, stay for the fabric, and leave inspired by the SEFAA community. We can’t wait to see you there!

Explore. Enter.
