The November evening meeting is:

Alfalfa’s Market
785 E South Boulder Rd
Louisville, CO 80027
Earlier in the year we provided a UFO sheet to track the those abandoned projects that you needed to get back on track. As is often the case with UFOs, this challenge lost some of it’s steam as the year got busier. But we haven’t given up on finishing some of those UFOs and that’s going to be the focus of our November meeting.
In 2019 we will be continuing the UFO challenge with a new determination, Tracy will be leading the efforts and keeping us all (me included!) on track.
There will be a brief UFO presentation, but this is mostly going to be a group effort to help brainstorm and problem solve how to finish those projects that just keep plaguing you. Look through your UFOs and find those ones that are really causing you problems. The one that you don’t even like to talk about because you’re embarrassed and it keeps you up at night. We will help figure out just what to do next and come up with a plan of attack to finally get those projects finished in 2019!
And if you have any projects that you ended up changing course and finishing them differently than you originally intended, we’d love you to bring those for show and tell!
At the November evening meeting we will also have signups for a variety of roles and presentations for next year. We have an amazingly talented group of members and we’d love to have you share some of your knowledge and skills with the rest of the guild! If you aren’t going to be at the meeting but would like to contribute to the blog or present at a meeting, please email info@bouldermqg.com and let us know!
