I â do not remember the Yahoo group involvement but I would be willing to host something like a raffle for the 25th Arachne Inception Anniversary. If someone wanted to donate a lace item (piece of lace, tool, supply, etc.), I would gather names of participants. It could work something like an exchange. A person would sign up to donate an item and then go on a list and their name in a hat. Then, after all have expressed their interest in joining in by a designated date, I would ask a local friend to draw out names and match to another participant. You would then mail off your item and they would mail off their item to whomever the pairing result indicated. You may not "exchange" as you probably would end up with someone else's name for you to mail off to than the pairing person sending to you. Of course, there is time for further consideration, but I will put this into my calendar to approach a thought about it again in October/November 2019. The mailing off would occur by mid March so it would be received by 4/12/2020. This can be a silent sharing or I will post photographs on Flickr (via Sue Babbs' generosity - thank you) if we want others to see what we gifted or received. It is nice to see what transpired. It will be up to the participant to share what the item would be. Just some idle thoughts here and suggestions welcome. This also could be in addition to anything else arranged. â Hugs, Lin and the Mali [image: http://www.amazing-animations.com/animations/goodmorning15.gif] - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
