The Results Are In!
CGOA begins the year with four Board members returning for second terms following the membership vote. Congratulations to Cari Clement, Tammy Hildebrand, Jane Rimmer and Karen Whooley. They, along with Jack Blumenthal, Mary Colucci and Amy Shelton, form the Board of Directors. At their organizational meeting on January 4, the Board voted to retain the same officers: President Amy Shelton, Vice President Cari Clement, Secretary Karen Whooley and Treasurer Jane Rimmer.
The membership also approved a CGOA Bylaws revision that will allow for electronic balloting starting with 2012's Board elections. Thank you to those of you who took the time to fill out and return your ballots.

Local Chapters
Local chapters provide an opportunity for crocheters to get together with others in their area who share their love of crochet.
Chapter meetings are an opportunity for showing works in progress, for sharing information about local yarn and supply sources, for
workshops devoted to the mastery of new techniques. Chapters may sponsor classes in their community to teach crochet to young and old alike;
may contribute crocheted afghans and articles of clothing to local and/or national charities; and participate in local craft fairs and
exhibits.
