would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of the members who entered handicraft projects this past year at the Provincial Handicraft Competition. This job is one in which I am privileged to work with members from many different areas of the Province during the unpacking, judging and packing up time. This job would be impossible to complete without all of the people who came and worked so hard on these different aspects of the competition, thank you to each one of you. This year we unfortunately have had a mishap in returning the articles to the members following the display. There was a photo album scrap book that contained pictures of antique cars that has disappeared. If anyone knows anything about the whereabouts of this book, please contact me as soon as you can. As the end of the year is fast approaching please remember to send your annual reports so that I can compile them into my annual report for the Report Book. The information that is learned from these reports can enhance handicraft across the province. Congratulations to all of the winners at the 2005 Handicraft Competition. Happy Crafting.wi
