PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Theme: “Your Time is Your Gift to Others”

The 2017 Fall Craft Faire is upon us and the phrase above can move mountains

when it comes to determining a successful outcome for our event. I like to

compare our Craft Faire to Community Theatre. The overall preparation

requires a significant collaboration of our club members. We reach out to the

community to support our production and they do! This generates an infectious

and captivating spirit, no matter how small or large your part is or if you’re

working in front of or behind the curtain.

The call to audition went out in June for crewmembers interested in lending

a hand and offering their talents. No previous experience was required and all

were welcome. Under the guidance of the Stage Manager, Lucy Huerta, Carrie

Rehearsals (committee meetings conducted by many dedicated chairpersons) have

been going on for five months. I hope you’re noticing the signs and banners around

YORBA LINDA LIGHTS, November 2017

Ladies, did you shoot some awesome photos in 2017? Did you create a lovely quilt, spend hours working a cross-stitch, or perhaps “upcycle” an unused something into a new and fabulous “treasure”?

We’d love to share the creations of our talented members at the annual Orange District Photo & Art Festival, coming up in January. The artwork and photos will be displayed and judged in conjunction with the January 12th District Council Meeting at the Phoenix Club in Orange. Art contest categories this year are: COUNTED CROSS-STITCH; QUILTING; TRASH-TO-TREASURE. (Continued on Page 3)

Knipfer has been busy building the sets, i.e., filling vendor spaces-the backdrop of the Craft Faire.

Rehearsals (committee meetings conducted by many dedicated chairpersons) have been going on

for five months. I hope you’re noticing the signs and banners around town advertising our event.

We’re just a few days away from:

ACT I Vendor Booth Spaces Marked (over 150)

ACT II Community Center Signs Placed

ACT III Kitchen & Opportunity Baskets Set Up

ACT IV Parking Control

ACT V Vendors Take Place Center Stage

ACT VI Production in Full Swing

ACT VII Encore

Sunday Night Curtain Call

If this is your first time volunteering at the Craft Faire, come early or stay after your assignment to

enjoy the performance. This fund-raiser has been known to be a friend-raiser in the past. Most

club members are die-hard fans and look forward to volunteering. Either way, Your Time is Your

Gift to Others, and I can’t thank you enough!

This is a project that will not cost you any money and will be helpful to others. Save

the aluminum pull tab on cans and bring them to our meetings. The tabs are taken to

the Ronald McDonald House on Batavia Street in Orange. The tabs are sold to help

with the expenses of families with a child in Children’s Hospital of Orange County.

It takes about 1,200 pull tabs to make a pound. This year, our club has collected about

10 pounds.

Pat Porter, Chairman


All PANTYmania broke out at our last club meeting! In honor of October being Domestic Violence Month,

we had an underwear drive for socks and panties. What a wonderful success it was. Ladies, we couldn’t do

without your kind donations.

The women and children families (40 of them) from the local Women’s Transitional Living Center (WTLC)

are the thankful recipients of 144 pairs of socks for women, 77 pairs of men’s/boy’s socks, 73 panties for

women, 50 pairs of men’s/boy’s T-Shirts. This adds up to a grand total of 348 total items. The underwear

was very much needed as we get closer to the winter season.






Linda Woods was the big winner of our drawing which was a lovely Fall pumpkin plant. Congratulations to

her! Thank you so much YLWC for your participation, you’re the best.

Martha Doose, Chairman


Above items of socks, underwear, etc., donated by the YLWC.

To date, with all of your donations, I have been able to deliver a grand total of 286 books to the Topaz Elementary School. We presented 215 wonderful hard cover books for re-use in the library. The balance of the books are 71 paperbacks that will be given to the students to take home and keep. Maria Lumby, the Topaz School Librarian, was thrilled by our donations. I will continue to collect "Books for Topaz" through our May General Meeting and will make sure they get delivered before school lets out in June. Thank you all for your generous support on this project. Margie Donovan Chairman 714.996.4763 ~ [email protected]

At the two sewing workshops in October everyone was hard at work as usual.

The Sew Kind Ladies were working on the cool-ties, cutting out hospital gowns

for the Hospice group that requested them, putting the drawstring in the bags,

stuffing bears, etc. There is always something for everyone to do. The group

donated 65 cool-ties to the military and will be working on more next time.

Threads of Love always continues to work on the Lovie Dolls, Isolette covers,

sorting fabric, etc. The need is always great for these items by the hospitals

that this group supplies these items to. The group will be treated to a Tea in

November at CHOC hospital to thank them for their efforts.

Everyone is invited to join these two groups to help in some way, no sewing experience needed.




The next Sew Kind workshop is November 2 in the clubroom from 1:00-3:00. The next Threads of Love workshop is November 9 in the clubroom from 1:00-3:00.

The Angel Tags will be delivered to me on November 6. For those

attending the Board Meeting on November 7, 2017. I will give you your

Angel Tag. The others I will put in the mail on Wednesday, November 8.

With your Angel Tag, there will be directions about purchasing the gift

and how to return it. If possible, bring your gift to the General Meeting

on November 16, 2017.

Wrapping will take place in Irvine in same building as last year or one

block over. Our club has been asked to be Table Captains. They would like us to commit to working several

shifts during the wrapping from November 29 to December 11, 2017. The Captain checks with the Wrapper

that the gift is appropriate, gives the label for the box, and checks off the gifts as they are placed in the black

bags. This is a sit-down job. Four or more people are needed each shift, so a group could car pool.

As I get more information as to the wrapping location, I will let you know by e-blast.

Pat Porter, Chairman


Since we will not meet in December, the November General Meeting is the last month I will be collecting shoes for this project. If any of you still need to clean out your closet of any women's, men's or children's shoes that are no longer needed, now is the time to get it done. Shoes with laces should be tied together by the laces. Shoes without laces will be rubber-banded together.







(Continued from page 9)

This is an Orange District Project and the District has asked all clubs to help. The District is very pleased with all of the shoes our club has collected so far. I currently have 5 bags, of 25 pairs of shoes each, ready for them to pick-up. That is a total of 125 pairs of shoes. I'm currently halfway through bag number 6. Great work ladies! All donated shoes will go directly to the Orange District and will be purchased by FUNDS2ORGS. All funds received will be donated to UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund). Thanks to all of you who have supported this project. Margie Donovan, Chairman


I want to thank all of you who participated in this project. We are going to be

making 36 children real happy with their gifts. Lots of extra things were

donated including clothing, personal hygiene items and food.

You still have until October 28 to bring your gifts to me or to the Girl Scout

House located at 4652 Cosa Loma Avenue near the Yorba Linda Community

Center. Aileen Baker will be there to accept the gifts from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Another thought, I will be

collecting donations to buy the basketballs until our November General Meeting. I don’t order them until the

first of December, so there is still time to give a basketball. The basketballs are $8.00 each.

Again, thank you for your generosity.

Jackie McPheeters, Chairman

Thank you to all who are knitting or crocheting scarves for the Veterans Project.

Please remember to use simple patterns, neutral colors, and no fuzzy yarns for either

men or women. This project has been designated for Christmas presents to the

Veterans in the Fullerton home. The scarves will be individually gift bagged with

snacks included.






Please bring the completed scarves to the November General Meeting. If you have any questions please

contact me at the below phone number or email address.

Jane Spence, Chairman




Members are encouraged to participate in this year’s Community Help Drive by

bringing non-perishable, non-expired food items or an unwrapped child’s toy to

the Community Center between November 6 and December 8, 2017.

The collected items will be donated to local families and children through the

Yorba Linda Food for Families Program. Although this isn’t a YLWC-sponsored project, let’s do our part to

make the holiday season a little brighter for those less fortunate. Our club meeting on November 16 would

be a perfect time to drop off a few things without making an extra trip -- just take them to the staff/reception

area.

Other drop-off locations:

• Black Gold Golf Club

• City Hall

• Lasorda Field House

• Travis Ranch Activity Center
