What are Illoominations?
"Il-loom-inations" are member-led activities which may or may not have a fee. If there is a fee, it will be a materials fee to defray costs to the leader for materials purchased. The member leading the activity is a facilitator and not an instructor and receives no payment. If you wish to participate in an Illoominations session it will require a pre-registration so that the facilitator can plan for materials needed. And since Illoominations will involve some discussion and sharing, you will be expected to be respectful of the start times and arrive on time for the session.
"If you have something you would like to share as a scheduled Illoomination please contact Debbie Suchoff at debbiesuchoff@yahoo.com"
