    We need volunteers in each of the 2 hour shifts.

    There is no limit to the number of volunteers, but we need at least 3 per shift.

    There are many other activities going on, so if you are not needed, there will be other fiber related things to explore.

    If you are going just to shop, no registration is necessary.

    Donations for the WNCFHG booth at the Anything Fiber sale may be received anytime from July 1-July 23.

    If you are not able to hold onto your donations until then, please donate them to another local charity like Local Cloth to help artists who suffered losses to Helene. 

    The Anything Fiber Sale is a yard sale for fiber people. The Guild received plenty of yarn (knitting & weaving) from Betsy Goodnight's studio and are not accepting those this year. However, we all have piles of unloved fabric, obscure tools that we forgot we had, looms that need a new home, duplicates of knitting needles, fleece that doesn't seem to get spun, right? 

    So, really clean out that closet of your surplus spinning fibers, materials and tools, and donate them to the Guild! No finished goods unless they are appropriate to use in other fiber techniques (i.e., hand-spun yarns, dyed yardage). 

    Bring donations to the July meeting. Or you can leave your donation in the designated boxes on the large covered porch at 103 Campbell Drive, Flat Rock, NC 28-731, or contact Cheryl Motheral-Lynn (phone 919-600-1531). Andrea Croskery (828-565-1396) in Haywood County, will also accept donations.

    Pick up can also be arranged depending on the location. 


    Location: AB Tech's spacious Conference Center 

    The Mission Health/AB Tech Conference Center is located at 16 Fernihurst Drive, off Victoria Drive on AB Tech's Asheville Campus. There is a Fire/Loading Zone as you approach the building and there is access from the parking garage behind the building. Access is all on one level (unless you are parked upstairs and then there is an elevator.)
