President’s Message

January 2025

Hi everyone,

I want to wish all of you a very Happy New Year and hope that you all have a very prosperous and happy year.

Last year was very busy with Gathering of the Guilds in the spring, picnics and playdates all spring, summer and fall, a new venue at Margie’s Fall Sale in October, and Open Studios as well. In addition, the monthly meetings were a wealth of information on glass-related subjects which were very enlightening, including the month when we heard about innovative ways to pack and ship your glass. We also had several Sherlocking sessions at Margie Reiff’s house and hope that we can continue those sessions in 2025.

All these programs come to our members through the very hard work of our board and everyone who volunteers their time for the Guild. Right now, we have two positions on the board that we need volunteers for – the Website Team Leader and the Newsletter Team Leader. These are very important positions that are invaluable to the Guild. There are a number of Guild members who work on these teams and support the team leader to help make the newsletter and the website a keystone to the guild’s success. If you are interested in the duties of these positions, please contact Karen Seymour for information on the website duties and Greta Schneider for information on the newsletter duties. I hope you will consider helping us with these vital positions and help to make the Guild a successful and very useful tool for all our members.

President Lesley Kelly
