Carolinas Region EGA Spring Retreat 2025

April 25-27, 2025

The Terrace Hotel – Lake Junaluska, North Carolina

DEADLINE TO REGISTER FOR HOTEL AND RETREAT: MARCH 21, 2025

You do not need to be an active EGA member to join us!

Springtime in the mountains is a perfect time for a stitch-filled weekend. Meet old friends and catch up while you work on your projects. Stop and chat with a new stitcher. The theme for our weekend is Help & Hints. Are you working on a special project? Bring it to work on! If you have any stitching questions, there will be plenty of experienced stitchers to answer them or help you with a solution to a challenge you are having. Be sure to bring your usual stitching supplies as there will be games during our stitching times.

What is a retreat without some games? Do you remember last year’s “Let’s Make a Deal” and the fun

prizes? Well, come join us for an entertaining evening.

Other features of the weekend:

• Hoppertunity Baskets with tempting goodies for you to win (and support your chapter).

• Stash Re-allocation: This and that ‘give-it-away-free’ Re-allocation. Just remember – What you bring, you take home! Please do not leave your items behind for the EC to clean up.

• The Region Board of Directors Meeting will be held on Sunday at 10:00 am. Please plan to attend.
