Friends of The Community Cloth:

It's been awhile! As summer is heating up so are things "behind the seams" of The Cloth and we have so much to share with you! With more artisans, new products, partnership opportunities, new staff, and lots of events coming up, we thought now is the perfect time to reintroduce our newsletter, "Behind the Seams." Stay in touch and join us on our journey-we could not do it without supporters like you.

Best,
Roxanne Paiva
Executive Director
