Open Sewing at the Gmeiner -- Monday, July 30th

Next Open Sewing Session

 Monday,  July 30th at the Gmeiner 10:00 - 2:00

All MLQG members of all ability levels and interests are welcome to attend the open sewing sessions at the Gmeiner Art and Cultural Center (where the monthly guild meetings are held) on Mondays 10:00 - 2:00 to work on any stitching projects, hand or machine, even knitting, crocheting, or embroidery.

The purpose of these get-togethers is to spend time with other MLQG fiber fanatics and to learn from each other, no matter what we're all working on. Bring your projects, machine, and lunch. Stay for an hour or stay all day. Just be warned that if only a couple of people show up, we may pack up early and leave before noon. Cancellations will be posted on the guild's blog/website/Facebook page.

If you need more info, contact Susan McC., Anya T., or Peggi Y., or use the "contact us" form on the right side of this blog.

Ask Not What Your Guild Can Do For You, But What You Can Do For Your Guild

The main reason MLQG is such a success is because of the guild members who volunteer their time for officer and chair positions (and other volunteer opportunities that arise). Several MLQG officer and chair positions will be available for the 2019 membership year (with the option of extending through 2020). 

The open positions are -- 

Vice-President/Program Committee Chair

Secretary

Publicity

Local Workshops

Fall Retreat

2020 Exhibit Chair

2020 Exhibit Co-chair

Please consider volunteering for one of these positions. If you have questions, those who are currently in those positions are more than happy to discuss what is involved. 

If you are interested or even just thinking that perhaps you might be willing to fill a position, please contact guild president Betty M. or vice-president Sylvia L. 

Contact info for all officers and chairs is listed on your guild roster and in every issue of the newsletter.
