Liz
Joined the Tzouhalem Guild in Duncan and when people join they are
given a welcome letter with information and suggested that we do
something similar.
Liz
is organizing a Sunday where Alison Irwin comes from Duncan to teach
the paper weaving so that we can help make woven name tags for the
big ANWG conference which is to be in Victoria in 2017.
Pat
came up with a great Idea for our guild booth for the conference in
2017. she handed out sheet with the colours and idea and we all
thought that it was a great plan. We should start working now. We
will be using the conference colours and the theme. For more
information go to http://www.anwgconference2017.com/
We
had a book suggestion which Betty moved to buy the suggested book for
our library and moved that we adjorn so that we could have the
planned programme on basketry with Debbie McCelland. The programme
was really well done with the types of baskets grouped into
continents or countries and Debbie had lots of examples of each of
the groupings. It was a lot of work to do and we really appreciated
her doing the programme.
I
got a list of the members from Crystal and am endeavouring to get it
straight on the yahoo list but the Yahoo list hasn’t many names
like nanny granny etc. That I cant associate with a real person! just
the email addresses so it is hard to do so hopefully everyone will
get the notices now! Some addresses had .ca instead of .com etc.
