March 2009
It sure was great finally getting
together again for a regular meeting! Because of scheduling difficulties around
the Holidays and then bad weather, it had been three months since our last
meeting. So folks came ready to talk about what they had been doing, show off
their latest projects and get to work on our chipmunk. What a great group of
people we have in our guild! Here are some of the highlights of what we talked
about:
Tandy Open House, March 20th
& 21st.
This is an annual event at our local Tandy Store where
Debbie extends an invitation for any and all of our members to do
demonstrations while everything in the store is on sale. This is a win/win
situation for both Tandy and the Pitt Pounders. A lot of people come through
the store these two days and it’s a great time to introduce them to our guild.
Once again, Kevin & Draper plan to be there. Are you able to be there to
demonstrate and/or answer questions about our guild or leather working? We would
love to have you there!
Also, Tandy is looking for Teachers. If
you are interested in teaching a series of classes or even a one day class,
Debbie would like to talk to you. She is very flexible and will work with you
to figure out a schedule that will work for everyone. There are people looking
for more instruction than she has time to give. If you would like to talk with
Deb about this please give her a call at 724-468-5148.
Our Guild Display Sign continues to
take shape as more completed pieces were turned in at the February meeting. If
you are working on a piece or two for the sign, we ask that you have them
completed and turned in by our July meeting. This will allow us time to put it
all together before the IFOLG Show. And if you didn’t get a piece to work on
before they were all gone, please let me know ASAP, we have had a few returned
just so you could participate in this project. My phone number & email are
listed under Newsletter Editor.
