Guild News

Website: There seems to be a problem with some people having the system auto-renew without being able to find the button to turn it off. We are working on a solution (changing from Square to Stripe for credit card processing of subscriptions) and hope to have it fixed within a week or two. If you have a problem in the meantime please contact the treasurer.

The Guild is made up of busy people like you. Help us help each other by volunteering a few hours a month:

Can you proof? We put out an issue of the newsletter every two months and we’re looking for another Newsletter editor to lead the team. You don’t need to write all the articles (Barb Kienle, Debbie Marchione, Karen Seymour, Greta Schneider, and Rae Williamson are currently also on the team) but you should have a sense of organizing the whole issue and making sure everything gets in without too many errors. Having a computer and some computer skills or being willing to learn is necessary. You need a word-processing level of skill but the work will be inside WordPress on our website instead of MS Word or whatever you use. You’ll need to attend board meetings on the occasional Monday or Tuesday evening every couple of months so you can report on any new developments there. Please contact the Newsletter Team for more info.

Want to make the website more cell friendly? Like troubleshooting? We know the layout is dated and more slanted toward desktop viewing. With the new theme switch we just went through we should be able to slowly modify things to make accessing the site’s features from a cell phone just as easy as on a desktop. We’re looking for a Website Team Lead who can report problems and solutions to the board and to the website maintenance contractor who does the heavy lifting on fixing problems and making back-end programming changes if needed. Knowing or being willing to learn a bit of WordPress is important, no programming is required. Helping create and/or revise help files so we don’t have to figure things out from scratch each time is also part of the job when you have some time. You don’t have to do it all yourself: Karen Seymour, Stephanie Johnston, Kate Nichlos, and Linda Roman manage various parts of the website. Please contact the Website Team for more info.

Want to be the first to know about glass events? The website team needs a new Event Coordinator to add events from the member submitted form and other sources to the guild’s website calendar and emails. Having a computer and some copy-writing and editing skills would be good. Debbie Marchione who has been doing it has to focus on other things for a while. Please contact the Website Team for more info.
