CALL FOR NOMINEES
Our Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter Advisory Board elections will take place
at our annual meeting in October this year. At this time, we are asking
for names of any persons interested in running for an elected office. We
have good people willing to fill the following positions:
President:
Lisa Jordan - 1st Vice President:
Marilyn Kautzer - 2nd Vice
President: Vanessa Smith - Secretary: Charlene
Newlin - Treasurer: Rose Turner
We
want to encourage everyone to take an active role in the sewing guild.
If you are interested in running, please do not let anything stop you.
Maybe the person currently holding the position would like to try
something else “if Only” there was someone else to take their place. If
you have the time, talent, and interest, we WANT your active
participation in the election process.
There are also non-elected positions available on the Chapter Advisory
Board. These include Retail Liaison, Special Events, Guild Dollar
Store, and Community Service.
If you are interested or know of someone who may like to run for one of
these offices or a non-elected position, please have them contact Bonnie
Miller at 817/431-8734 or via email at bonnie.miller@airmail.net.

NEIGHBORHOOD GROUP EVENTS |
|
Neighborhood Groups are the heart of
the chapter. These groups meet monthly to learn and share ideas with
others who sew. Members have lots of fun making projects for themselves
as well as charitable projects like Christmas stockings, blankets,
cancer caps, toy bears and much more. Neighborhood Groups activities
also include presentations by other members or retailers, field trips to
fabric stores, help with fitting problems, and other programs determined
by each individual group. Click on the CAB/Groups
link for more information.
As an ASG member, you may attend any Neighborhood Group meeting.
Guests may attend up to two meetings. If another Chapter is offering a
special speaker or event, you can attend at the member price.
Non-members can attend Neighborhood
Group functions; however, there will be a Visitor's Fee of $10 per event
after two complimentary guest
visits.
