Advertising deadlines for the national magazines are fast approaching and a volunteer is needed immediately to start placing the ads. Michele, our previous publicity coordinator, did a fantastic job documenting what needs to be done. It's just a matter of having someone to do it.

The Bazaar Committee will convene shortly to start working out the details for this year's bazaar. It's amazing what it takes to make a bazaar happen. Please consider volunteering some time in one or more of these areas. Help make it happen. Volunteers are needed in the following areas

  • Assistant Bazaar Coordinator,

Bead Jar Raffle

All year long we've been filling the bead jar with bits and baubles of extra items. It's a treasure trove of unique pieces waiting to be made into that very unique piece(s) of jewelry.

This is the only fundraiser for the year other than the Bazaar. Raffle tickets are $1.00 each or $5.00 for 6 tickets. More chances to win.

Member's Sale

Don't know what to do with those extra beads you have laying around? Package them up, put on a price and offer for sale at this month's meeting. Bring anything jewelry making related you'd like to offer for sale. Turn your trash into someone else's treasure.


looking ahead.....

  • April 2012 - Chain Maille project
  • May 2012 - perhaps some poly clay

 


DON'T FORGET THE BEAD JAR

What is the bead jar?  The bead jar is a collection of odds and ends (beads) collected from all of  our members and raffled off once a year.  You never know what you will find - one person's trash is another persons treasure! So it only gets to be fun if everyone remembers to bring those unwanted extra beads and things to help fill the jar.
