   Love your Singer Featherweight – or aspire to have one to love? Many of us do, too. So, we are forming a neighborhood group dedicated to all things Featherweight! 

   Their second meeting is set for Monday, Dec. 2 at 12:30 p.m. at the Delphos Public Library ANNEX ROOM (a separate building behind the library), 309 W. 2nd St., Delphos, OH 45833 . (Corner of 2nd & N. Jefferson St) Guest speaker will be Linda Croy, Featherweight educator and shop owner. Linda will have several machines to admire as well as her topic "All About the Singer Featherweight." She will also bring a variety of tools and parts for the Featherweight available for purchase.   For information about the Featherweight neighborhood group, contact Kathy Stemen, group leader at kstemen2015@gmail.com.
