Neighborhood Groups

ASG Atlanta Neighborhood and Special Interest Group meetings are on Zoom!

We have asked all of our groups to cancel “in person” meetings for the time being.

We are hosting virtual sewing meetings. If you would like to join us via Zoom, please check out our facebook-page or email a group leader, (listed below). There’s a lot of sewing going on while we practice social distancing!

If you have questions about a group, please contact the individual listed below.

Members are welcome to attend any and/or all NG meetings. Meetings are held even if a program topic is not listed. If you don’t normally attend a particular group, be sure to contact the NG Leader to verify the dates and times as the following information is subject to change without notice.
