Craft & Chat Journal

Each month we will be introducing a board member. This month’s spotlight is on Drue Campbell, our new treasurer. :

Greetings! My name is Drue Campbell. My husband and I have three children; a boy and two girls in grades 3rd, 1st and preschool. We moved to Naperville in April 2002, at that time I knew no one who lived here. I thank Chris Even for inviting me to join the Maplebrook Craft and Garden Club. Through the club some friendly faces became familiar on the school playground. I am happy to fill the Treasurer position this year, and hope I can learn your names (I have a bad memory for names), and get to know more of you! My background in accounting includes public and private auditing, accounting and cost management. I became a full time mom over 8 years ago. Serving as Treasurer is a nice way to keep my skills from getting too rusty (and to use my mind for challenges beyond Sesame Street, although I do love my job as Mommy!).

Let's Get Organized!

Do you want to GET ORGANIZED?
Are you overwhelmed with all the clutter and chaos that follows the holidays?
Is it impossible to find the right place to put everything?
Do you still have mail from November that you haven’t gotten to yet
Do you have everything in your garage except the car?

If so, then the Maplebrook Craft and Garden Club invites you to attend our January meeting when we will have professional organizer Jeannie Triezenberg speak on strategies you can use to help you be more organized.

Jeannie is the owner of Hire Order in Naperville. She can help you with organizing challenges to make your house a home by organizing your belongings, which will allow you to find what you need in a snap. She will go through the house from the attic to the basement and touch on every room in between. She will discuss Closet Design/Organization, Establishing and Maintaining Filing Systems, Home Office Organizing, Paper Management/Bill Paying, Time Management and address any organizing issues that you might have. Please join us!
