ANNUAL GATHERING 

Our next  Annual Gathering is planned for April 4-6, 2025, at Lake Louisa State Park. 

We'll explore the park, spin some yarns, raise some money for the James Cook Relief Fund through the Arnold Kuenzler and Family Annual Auction, cover some necessary business and have a great time. You don’t have to be a member to attend but once you experience all the fun and fellowship you will want to join. Don’t forget to bring new, handmade or collectible items to contribute to the auction. This is our biggest fundraiser for the James Cook Relief Fund, which directly benefits members and current FPS employees. Since the fund’s beginning in 1994, we have awarded more than $220,000; help us continue this rich tradition of generous support.
