:::Scrapbooking/Crafting party at Toadilly Scrappin in Gig Harbor. Please let me know if you would be interested in attending. If you don’t scrapbook, feel free to bring a craft to work on (just think, no kids interrupting! No housework to distract you! Perhaps your in-laws will be visiting from out-of-town . . .) We will probably have light snacks and beverages, and the cost is approximately $10 - $12. Friday, June 20th and Saturday the 21st are currently available. We will start around 5:00 p.m,, and can go as late as 11:00 p.m. or so (provided we can all stay awake). Feel free to invite a friend or two. Toadilly Scrappin is really nice little store, with a great set-up for scrapping/crafting parties. They are located conveniently off Highway 16 in Gig Harbor. We need a minimum of 8 people to book the event, and pre-payment will be required to reserve your space. Please email me if you are interested, tpomevents@gmail.com (We are leaning towards Friday night, in case people have weekend plans.).

Important Reminders: TPOM Logo Apparel is now available. Help support your club and sport some cool stuff in the meantime. A nice variety of items are available, please contact Julie: tpompres@gmail.com for more information.
