OK, we have all enjoyed a much needed rest after hosting the wonderful 2019 ATHA Biennial in Denver, Colorado. Although we have not skipped a meeting since then, we have been hmmmm. . . . resting on our laurels and enjoying rug hooking! You know. . . that thing we let lapse as we feverishly worked organizing the biennial. LOL! It is all good. Now we are looking forward to the Denver Hook In that will take place in September 19, 2020.

Be sure to look at the Denver Hook In page on this website. As we get closer to the date there will be all kinds of information posted there.

Stay tuned for more information about teachers who will be coming to host workshops later this year.

January meeting

Sun, 25 Feb 2018 18:17:39 GMT

Our January meeting was held at the police station on Vance. It is a smaller location and makes for a cozy atmosphere once we get all of our hooking gear through the doors. Still, a lot of fun, laughter and this month a very good demo on rug punch. The demo was given by ATHA members, Cheri Whitlock and Rebecah

The new registration date for the 2017 ATHA Biennial will be held on Saturday, February 25th at 10:00 am Eastern Standard Time. It will be posted on the ATHA Website, but you can help us by sharing this information with everyone you know. Our IT professional assures us that what happened today will be fixed and everything will go smoothly. Do be aware that everyone will be trying to get in at once, and you may have a delay in getting in but the whole system won’t go down. Again, I appreciate your patience and kindness as the Registration volunteers worked all day to get this sorted out. It was frustrating for them as well. Celia Esala, Co-Chair 2017 ATHA Biennial
