As a self funded, charitable organization the Crochet Club is mindful of unnecessary expense. We appreciate and value the offer of free meeting space at the Salvation Army Citadel and the Eastern Star Temple. There is no further affiliation with either organization other the use of the offered space.

Just a “heads up” – with all the construction happening in the area of the Clubhouse, you might run into some road closures. It appears they are keeping the driveway open at 111 Victoria Street, but it could be open from only one direction.
