DALLAS/FORT WORTH CHAPTER
ABOUT DALLAS/FORT WORTH ASG
NEIGHBORHOOD GROUP MEETINGS
Neighborhood Groups are the heart of the chapter. These groups meet monthly to learn and share ideas with others
who sew. Members have lots of fun making projects for themselves as well as charitable projects like Christmas stockings, blankets, cancer caps, toy bears and much more. Neighborhood Groups activities also include presentations by other members or retailers, field trips to fabric stores, help with fitting problems, and other programs determined by each individual group.
As an ASG member, you may attend any Neighborhood Group meeting. Guests may attend up to two meetings. If another Chapter is offering a special speaker or event, you can attend at the member price. Non-members can attend Neighborhood Group functions; however, there will be a Visitor's Fee of $10 per event after two complimentary guest visits.
