Talent Swap on tap
04/03/09 10:02
Perhaps you are a scrapbook queen, a camera buff, or a computer wizard. Do you love to cook, play a particular card game, or tie flies for fly fishing? It is time to share your talents!
The St. Stephen Talent Swap will provide an opportunity to match people who want to share their talents by teaching with those who want to acquire a new hobby or skill.
“Most importantly, we will all have some fun,” said Paula Blomquist, who added that one announcement in church has already netted a couple of teachers. “Don’t be shy – you might be surprised by how many people are interested in learning your favorite hobby.”
If you have a talent or skill to share, please fill out a Talent Sheet Form in the narthex. When a sufficient number of forms are received, there will be a sign-up sheet for sessions.
