I started a Bee with invitations in our civic association newsletter and we began in my sewing room with 3 people. Now, 5 years later, we have 2 groups ( different days/times for day/ eve schedules) meet in the LQS classroom. It is free, but a win-win for us and LQS. We get to use their ironing boards, mats, etc and we reciprocate by patronizeing the LQS. It also brings life and laughter into the LQS. We frequently have shoppers wonder through to see what we are working on, and they are always invited to join. A person who started out to be a once-every-3- months shopper is now in the shop for 3 or 4 hours 2 or 3 times a month.
The people in each group are so helpful and supportive, we teach one another, and we have become best friends, for sure. Good luck! I'm sure you will be successful!
