I used to go to a embroidery group that met in a local woman's home. It was the first Tuesday of each month from 10:00 am until all was done. We would bring our lunch, pay $5.00 to whomever was doing the program and $2.00 for coffee/tea.
I had to wait until there was space for me in the group, due to space constraints. I loved going, but now work m-f days and can no longer attend.
I used to belong to another group that used a church hall. We never got close to capacity, thank goodness, because it would have been hard to turn anyone away. Most people aged out as their children headed to school.
