2025 Education Class - GCC's

2025 education project will be GCC (Group Correspondence Courses) sponsored by the Great Lakes Region (GLR). Each member was able to choose the GCC they wanted to participate in. GLR has set up monthly meetings to keep things on track. June and July we do not have formal meetings, instead, we get together to stitch. You can work on any project but we encourage you to bring your GCC projects. We can help each other with any questions. You also might see members get together in person to share supplies and enjoy the process.

If you have any questions about the 2025 Education GCC's, contact Kay Olson.
