Meetings are held on the 1st Tuesday of every month from 1 to 5 pm at the Venice Police Station Community Service Room. The address is 1575 East Venice Ave, Venice, FL.

runs on the cold side year round; bring whatever keeps you warm-i.e. socks, neck wrap, long sleeves, sweater. The room is spacious and allows sewers to spread out. Bring a cutting mat, pressing
