SewGreen Newsletter

Vol. 5, No.6, March 19, 2020

We hope this newsletter finds you healthy. We wanted to reach out to our community through our newsletter to let you know that we miss you and to send you some ideas we have for keeping busy and creating during this uncertain time of distancing our physical selves from one another. Happy Reading.

An Important Message from our Director

We treasure all of you and please protect your health by following all of the recommended safety precautions.
 
Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you in the future.

Community

Stay Connected
Flowers are popping out of the ground and the days are getting longer. The Rochester area has more than 3500 acres of parks where you can walk, ride your bike, drive to and walk etc. Take some time to stay connected in the world. Lots of people are out and walking, you can still say hello from a distance!

Sustainability

Relationships
Now more than ever we need to be aware of how we sustain our relationship with others. We may not be able to see each other face-to-face but we can stay in touch in so many other ways.
Putting out this newsletter is one way we want to keep in touch. We will also continue to use Facebook and Instagram to post ideas and other interesting tidbits of information. We also have email. We would love to hear from you. Stay in touch, we will see you Face-to-Face again when this is over. 

Upcoming Classes and Events

Until further notice, there will be no face-to-face classes as the shop is closed.
