FORT VANCOUVER KNITTERS GUILD
MISSION The Fort Vancouver Knitters Guild is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to provide education to guild members to further skills in knitting, broaden their understanding of the craft, and to serve the community through services and donations.
WELCOME All are welcome regardless of age, skin color, nationality, religion, gender identity or disability. We dedicate ourselves to the goal of a diverse, inclusive and spirited knitting community free from inequality, racism and injustice.
Those with mobility issues should park closest to the front entrance, facing the building. The space can accommodate a double row if needed. All others should park facing (or backed in) the fence on the left of the gravel drive. Parking is tight - please consider car pooling.

Guild Membership Renewals Volume 26 Issue 8 You have probably already received your automatic renewal notice. Please note: you can renew on-line with a credit card OR simply bring $35 cash or a check for $35 payable to FVKG to our September 5th meeting and Laurel Prager, our Treasurer elect and Marla Peterson our Membership Committee Chair will be available to receive your payment and process your renewal for you. Due to time constraints, we will be able to accept payments but won’t be able to process the renewal for a few days, and you will get notified when that has happened.
Thanks to everyone who participated in making the 2024 Clark County Fair booth a great event. I anticipate seeing many new members as a result of all the conversations we had with fairgoers. People seemed more interested in our booth than ever before. I hope you had fun representing the guild at the fair. Teri Helms will be the fair coordinator in 2025. It has been a pleasure organizing this event and I look forward to the new ideas Teri will have for the future. Rest assured: you will be hearing from her when it’s time to volunteer for next year. — Cindy Stewart, Clark County Fair Co-ordinator
