January 17: Journal Show and Tell and Library Inventory

Happy New Year!

I can’t believe it is 2026. Anyway, last January, Amy presented on creating your own Bullet Journal, so let’s see them. Bring your journal for a show and tell.

But this meeting is two-fold. We have a very valuable asset that is largely unused, and that’s our library cart. It was proposed to digitally scan each book to hopefully connect to our Website so members know what we have and can use the books as a reference. So, the latter part, if not most of the meeting, will be devoted to this. Many hands and short work. Please join us if you can. This Saturday, January 17, at 10 a.m., at the Bell Tower Arts Pavilion, is our normal meeting place.

Dues reminder
It’s been a while since we’ve asked for any dues, but to keep the guild coffers I good shape to bring you new instructors and programs, it is needed. Yearly dues are $30. You can bring cash or check to the meeting on Saturday, or pay using this link:

This is through our website using PayPal, and there is a slight fee to pay this way.

Thanks, everyone.

Continued help….

From Holly Laraine:
October, 2025
Greetings, everyone! I am pleased to share that Jacqueline continues treatment and is hanging in there. We are so grateful for everyone’s kindness and generosity over the last several months. We have been able to support Jaqueline’s stair life and other expenses and that is something to celebrate!
Over the last couple of weeks, Jacqueline has been engaged in an effort to pay for the cost of necessary repairs to her condo. She is stretched thin because she hasn’t been well enough to work for almost a year, and her savings have dwindled.

Can we help? Yes. We are looking to raise a minimum of $3,000 to cover the cost of repairs and anything additional will help buffer living expenses, including caring for Jacqueline’s dog, Phoebe.
At Jacqueline’s request, I am reaching out to all of you because options are few and Jacqueline can’t fight all of this alone.

So, if you feel led to help out our friend, please do. I know she would appreciate it. – Jen
