For Whom: Q: Who should come to our morning meetings?
A: Anybody who is practicing sobriety, new and old. People trying to get sober and/or kick the habit. People with zero days sober or many years of experience with sobriety.
For some people, alcohol can be very addictive and dangerous. For others, it’s not a problem.

Don’t let your friends, family and children remember you as an alcoholic. Don’t let a substance defeat you. Find a higher power. Be a warrior! You can do it, and you’ll get through it.

For people who have kicked the habit or are trying to quit, join us in the morning at 9:00am for a coffee, meeting, support, and sharing of your thoughts and experiences about alcohol and staying clean.

Sewing Demo: Watch How a Garment Is Made
—————–
When: Mon, 2:00P _(90m)
Speaker: Ilma, Ilma made her first garment at the tender age of 12 (a costume as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz) and has been sewing ever since! She has made everything from the basic garments which will be discussed at the demo to high Elizabethan and Victorian garments for both men and women, including the foundation garments (corsets) which give the outer garments their structure. Growing up, her family was too poor to afford patterns, so her mother taught her how to take measurements and draft her own. Little did she know what an important skill this would turn out to be! These days, Ilma mostly sews costumes for theatrical productions, though she has been known to occasionally make PJs for her family.
For Whom: If you’ve ever looked at an article of clothing and wondered what went into its construction, then this demo is for you! Even if this is the first time you’ve ever considered the subject, come and find out the ins and outs of basic garment construction.
Description: Curious about how clothes are made? Then come to this demo and learn which measurements are needed, how these are transferred onto fabric, how the fabric is cut, and how it is finally sewn together to make a functional garment right in front of your eyes. We will also cover the basics of using a sewing machine, as well as fabric selection and basic patterning.

Ham Radio Show & Tell
—————–
When: Wed, 10:00A _(60m)
Organizer: Mark Hansen, Mark is a former special ed teacher and past seasonal state parks ranger living in CT. He is currently a full-time hospital security officer.
He enjoys hiking, camping, riding motorcycles and is enthusiastic about guns, the natural right of self defense, and the second amendment. He is proficient with pistols and rifles, and enjoys building a few things. He has participated in local pistol and rifle matches, and wants to learn more about ham radio, comms, and being prepared.
For Whom: Q: Who should attend?
A: Anyone interested in getting into the ham radio hobby. It’s a great way to communicate if/when the power goes out, when cell phones aren’t working, or where there is no cell service. Use ham radios on the farm, at the range, on hikes and/or when the SHTF. Use on vacation or at festivals to keep in touch with your friends and family. Use them for fun, to see how far you can talk around the world. Basic radios are not expensive if you want to get started, and you just need to learn how to program the radios with your computer (the trickiest part in my opinion).
If you already have experience with ham radios, please join us and share your knowledge!

As a heavy haul truck driver and former roofer, forklift operator and roofer, I have lived for over a decade in this environment and can speak directly about these issues and ways to solve them. {More}

When: Fri, 11:00A _(60m)
Speaker: Jacob Hornberger, He’s the presenter.
For Whom: The biggest threat to your life, liberty, and well-being lies not with Russia or China or any other foreign entity. It lies with your very own national-security establishment.

Open Mind on Open Borders
—————–

Speaker: Jacob George Hornberger, Jacob is the co-editor of The Future of Freedom Foundation’s book “The Case for Free Trade and Open Immigration.” He has authored countless articles and given many lectures and speeches and participated in many debates on the subject of immigration.
For Whom: America’s system of immigration controls is based on the socialist principle of central planning. Thus, it’s not surprising that immigration controls come with death, suffering, crisis, and a police state. If you want to understand why the libertarian principle of open borders is the *only* solution to America’s decades-long immigration crisis, this talk is for you. Jacob will show how open borders is a necessary prerequisite toward restoring life, liberty, prosperity, and harmony to our land. In the process, he will address the fears and concerns that surround the concept of open borders.
Description: Whenever a government program is producing the deaths of innocent people and the destruction of liberty, that’s a good sign that it’s a no-good, rotten program. That describes America’s system of immigration controls. The only system that is consistent with life, liberty, prosperity, morality, and the pursuit of happiness — and the libertarian non-aggression principle — is open borders — the free movement of people, goods, and services across borders. {More}

The Daily Stitch & Bitch
—————–
When: Sat, 12:00P (120m)
Organizer: Ilma & Friends, Ilma (the organizer) first learned how to crochet at the age of 8, and then 20 years later she learned how to knit in order to teach an actor to look legit while performing in a play that required knitting. She then proceeded to forget all about both of these techniques until about 10 years ago when her daughter needed help with some crochet stitches and she took up her hooks again. Then she took up her needles. Now she’s got more projects than time. It’s a certainty that all the other S&B-ers have similar stories. Come join us and tell us your own!
For Whom: Knitters, Crocheters, Embroiderers, Tatters, Felters, Cross Stitchers, Needlepointers, Sewers, Spinners, Crafters, Beaders, etc, etc, etc, are all welcome to join us for some good old fashioned “Stitchin’ an’ Bitchin'”. Bring a project and a drinking mug. We’ll have hot water for tea, coffee, and maybe a sewing machine or two to use. Want to learn how to do these things? Come on over and we’ll answer your questions and offer suggestions, but know that this is meant to be an informal hangout group, not a formal teaching class. Check out the separate teaching classes scattered throughout the schedule or watch a bunch of tutorials online so you can have a basic idea of what’s involved. What are you waiting for? Come meet your new BFFs at this year’s “Daily Stitch & Bitch”!
Description: “Stitch and Bitch” groups have been around since before WWII, when they were composed primarily of knitters. In modern times, the S&B movement has gradually expanded to include all manner of crafters and fiber artists.

For Whom: Q: Who should come to our morning meetings?
A: Anybody who is practicing sobriety, new and old. People trying to get sober and/or kick the habit. People with zero days sober or many years of experience with sobriety.
For some people, alcohol can be very addictive and dangerous. For others, it’s not a problem. For those of us who have an addictive personality and have struggled to fight the negative health and emotional consequences of substances like alcohol, support groups and talking with others who have been through it is the best medicine. Don’t let your friends, family and children remember you as an alcoholic. Don’t let a substance defeat you. Find a higher power. Be a warrior! You can do it, and you’ll get through it.
Description: For those who choose not to partake in alcohol or other substances during Porcfest. For people who have kicked the habit or are trying to quit, join us in the morning at 9:00am for a coffee, meeting, support, and sharing of your thoughts and experiences about alcohol and staying clean. Support each other in their sobriety and talk about why life is better without the booze.

Maybe bring a snack to share? I thought it was a great way to start the day at Porcfest 2021 last year. Let’s encourage and support each other!
