Conference Time!

Let's "Be Crochet" All the Way!

If you've never been to a CGOA Conference, you may want to sign up for a Conference Buddy.

BUDDY PROGRAM: First time attendees (crocheters OR knitters) are paired with seasoned conference goers in an effort to make the "newbies” feel welcomed and involved, as well as give the "buddies” a chance to share all of the wisdom and knowledge they have gathered. During conference, there are some great events planned for all the newbies and buddies to meet and mingle.Sign up for a "buddy" as you register for Conference. (If you are already a Buddy or a Newbie, visit this Group Page just for you.)
