As you can see below, there were lots of happy faces at our October Zoom meeting this past Saturday! It looks like we will be meeting this way for the foreseeable future. The executive will keep everyone posted.
Linda chaired our meeting and announced several vacancies on the guild executive, including Vice President, Treasurer, Correspondence/Artisan Rep and someone to help with Social events. By the end of the meeting, Rachel volunteered to take on the position of treasurer! Only three more volunteers needed! Please let Linda or Michaelanne know if your are interested in one of these positions.
