Twelve happy Desert Fiber Arts Members completed the first leg of the May “Make a Wish” Car Drive for the McCurley dealerships Tuesday, May 21, 2019.
The return drive May 27th will mark the two-thirds milepost for our McCurley fundraisers this year! Mark your calendars for the final fundraising drive and don’t miss out on the fun & laughter! The next car drive is September 17, 2019 with the return on September 22, 2019. The next drive overlaps with the Joanne Hall Draw Loom workshop so many of our regular drivers will be unavailable as they will be attending the Tuesday workshop.
Thank you DFA drivers,

Thank you to everyone for such a successful drive. The nice part about the cloudy day was that you weren’t thinking of all the fun you could be having doing yard work!! Watch for Marion H.’s photo of us happy drivers waiting for our van ride to the next dealer.
A special Thank You to the folks that drove for DFA that aren’t actually members: Gary Johnson, friend of Carol Hall, that drove from the west side – Seattle area– to help us out; Also Thank you to Lisa Saget in her leg cast for being our backup driver; (we had the 12 required drivers so Lisa went home to play!!) Spouse of DFA members: Duane Klotz, spouse of Nancy Klotz. However you were coaxed into driving, Thank you so much for coming.
Jennie Bass and Sue DeMerchant provided us with our snack packs. After the second car delivery, we were all diving in for goodies. First time driver and new member Marilyn Lord said, “She had a good time.” It’s a great way to get to know your fellow DFA member better and share in the camaraderie.
Several of the drivers for today will be driving again Monday, May 27, 5:30 p.m. until 9:30 ish. The way things went today, finished by 2:15 p.m., if they sell a goodly number of cars, we will be finished earlier. Also, A special Thank you to McCurley Auto Sales for providing this great opportunity for our guild.
