8)  We know with the holiday season approaching stress can occasionally get the better of us so just a friendly reminder to be respectful of others.  There's no reason to bring negativity and drama with you, when we are all there for the same reason.  To sew with great people.  Each and every member bring more value and experience to the group and there is room for everyone.
