Greater Cincinnati Calligraphers' Guild

Happy First Day of Summer

A gel print from our May meeting

We hope everyone is having a great summer so far. Are you making art? Traveling? Whatever you are doing, have fun.

Our May meeting was a fun hands-on meeting making gel prints. Big thanks to Jo Diamantes and Patty Bertsch for presenting, and to Jacqueline Sullivan for the loan of gel plates so everyone could experience this way of making prints.

Soon, the Guild will be setting out schedule for the upcoming year. If you have anything you would like us to present, please feel free to reach out and let us know. In the meantime…

In this age of so many non-profits needing money to help continue their reach, we are no different. This is not a call for donations, although it would be nice, we have an easy way for you to help our guild by just doing your normal grocery shopping. We are now enrolled in the Kroger Community Rewards Program. When you shop at Kroger with your Kroger Plus card that is registered, and you have chosen the guild for a reward to go to, we will get a donation.

  • Members must swipe their registered Kroger Plus card or use the phone number that is related to their registered Kroger Plus card when shopping for each purchase to count.

Please feel free to share this info with friends and family as anyone can choose us as a charity. So, register, and get to shopping for that July 4th BBQ. And thank you from the guild for helping us offset operating costs.
