General Information


The Hagerstown Chapter of the EGA meets at the Hagerstown Seventh-Day Adventist Church (11507 Robinwood Drive, on the outskirts of Hagerstown, Maryland), opposite the wooded section of the Hagerstown Community College campus (directions). We meet the last Tuesday of each month (September through November, and January through April), have a special holiday gathering in December, our annual banquet in May or early June, and a day-long, mid-summer meeting in July. Our evening meetings begin at 7:00 p.m., local time.

Each month at our meetings, we present a special project or program. These are interesting and educational - a good way to try out a new or different stitching technique. It's up to each individual if she or he wants to participate; many members bring their own "works-in-progress" instead of doing the special project. There's also a show-and-tell at the beginning of each meeting.

Guests are invited to attend up to three meetings before they are asked to join. Our annual dues are $48, which includes subscription to the National publication, Needlearts magazine, along with all chapter, regional and national organizational priviledges. Upon joining, each member is given an information packet and asked to make a name tag for themselves.
