President's Message

Hello fellow spinners and weavers!
First of all, I would like to say another big thank you to Fairview for hosting the last conference. Wasn't that something? Everyone I spoke to learned a bunch at the workshops and the waulking (wasn't that fun?!) and I think, perhaps, that the Fairview group could write the book on how to host a conference. Well done!

Fort St. John is planning the fall 2010 conference with Jane Stafford who comes highly recommended as a weaver and instructor. You will find some information enclosed so please take time to read it over and note the registration deadline. Remember, first come first served. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions feel free to contact me.

Next though, we look forward to 'weaving green'. The Saskatoon Lake ladies will be hosting our spring conference featuring ideas on being 'green' in our art and craft I am excited to see how weavers incorporate 'green' ideas in their work. I'd like to encourage you to bring your ideas for a great share and show time. It is a very timely subject. Along with Kermit the frog we can sing "It ain't easy being green..."

Thank you to our outgoing executive - Faye, Marjo, Verna May, Marion, and Fairview Guild. We appreciate your work for this group. And thank you to the new executive for allowing your names to stand. It's all the volunteer work that makes this group work so well.
Your new executive is:
President - Rene Giesbrecht
Vice - Marjo Wheat
Treasurer - Loretta Skaley
Secretary - Mary Tylosky
Newsletter - Barbara nichols (a.k.a. Frankie)

As you come up to this frantic time of year, Christmas, remember to take some time daily, for the great tress reliever (usually) - weaving. The bonus is that you will have wonderful gifts for your family and friends. It doesn't get better than that.

Wishing you all a blessed Christmas.... Rene G.
