FEBRUARY 7th—Show & Tell

After the busy Holiday Season it’s always refreshing to take a step back and
reflect on last year’s, as well as previous year’s, projects. Some are successfully finished and some are still in various states of accomplishment (a.k.a. “UFOs”).

At this meeting let’s get together and inspire each other. Bring and share your
successes, frustrations, as well as your unfinished and/or questionable works.

Let’s show and tell!

See the EVENTS page for more info.

Our December Guild Meeting is also our Holiday Potluck and Silent Auction!

Bring a treasure to put in the silent auction, I imagine it’s like a fancied up raffle, and we’ll outbid each other for a good cause!

For the potluck bring a main, side or dessert for 6-8 people and your own table service (it’s the eco-green thing to do!) and we’ll have a nice lunch after the bidding wars are over!

So, setup at 9:30, short meeting at 10:00, bidding, chatting and eating, all in one morning!

The Guild Show at the Goleta Library was a beautiful success but it was short and sweet as was September and they both went by too fast!
