We met back in January to start off the year right by setting goals for 2010. At this meeting we will review your goals and see if you met your challenge of attaining what you set out to accomplish by April!
We will continue to set new goals at this meeting, see where we might have fallen down if we did not meet our challenge and find new ways to meet goals for the remaining part of 2010.
If you did not attend our first meeting no worries you can still join us. Set a few goals now and work to attain them by April!
The beginning of this session we will have an open discussion on how to set some practical goals for yourself, some of the obstacles that might get in your way and how to overcome them to see your goals through. Then we will break up into smaller round table groups to have a more intimate discussion on what goals you sought to accomplish by April and if you attained these goals. Hearing each other and offering up tips to get things done can be very useful to succeeding in the items you set forth for yourself. We hope you can join us!
If you are a member of GBA this is a free event. If you are not a member it is $5.00 at the door. Or you can become a member by signing up online.

New Crafting Place in Cap Hill!
I just an email from a Kathy Hargrove a Capitol Hill local and she wanted to let us and our readers know about Metrix Create: Space.
Here is what she had to say:
Sounds good to me!
623A Broadway East, Seattle, WA 98102
Metric Create Space
Here is what she had to say:
They have all kinds of tools and a nice place to make things. It's not just for techy people. They also have sewing machines, and after talking to them an embroidery machine soon as well. I hope all kinds of people will use spaces like this and get to know each other and inspire all kinds of projects. My favorite part is that they are open until midnight, which I think could be a huge deal for many people. For instance I work until 7pm and have difficulty meeting other crafters/makers. Many craft groups meet too early for me to make it to them. I think lots of us night owls get a bit left out.
Sounds good to me!

Sister Assocation in Vancouver
We are excited to announce that we now have a sister association in Vancouver, B.C.!
This is just the start as we hope to get some more firm ideas into place over the next few months about how other cities can set up their own Grassroots Association and be a part of the larger model we have created here. So check back here in the future for more details!
We are happy to introduce the founders of our first sister association our friends and speakers at one of our first events Lauren Bacon & Emira Mears, co-founders of Raised Eyebrow Web Studio, Inc. and co-authors of The Boss of You: Everything a Woman Needs to Know to Start, Run and Maintain Her Own Business. They are passionate about what they do and also love celebrating definitions of success that include the stuff money can’t buy.
If you live in Vancouver go check out their events up there!
