Hello fellow lacers,
I hope that the New Year has begun
well for everyone and you have found time for your lace projects. I am so close to finishing my butterfly
fillings from Louise’s Milanese class in late September…..
Thanks to all
of you for supporting your new Board. Thankfully
Debbie and Linda will continue their fantastic work as secretary and
treasurer. We are thankful to have
Ellie’s burst of new energy as Vice President.
We are so pleased that Dorothy will continue writing our newsletter and
scheduling demonstrations, and Rowena will continue sending greetings on our
behalf. Be sure to let us know of any
ideas you may have for educational opportunities, newsletter stories, or ways
to enhance our organization and build our membership.
Keep an eye
out at Dallas Morning News for an article about us written by Connie
Dufner. It should be out in February.
Linda will be
sending out the new directories and library listings soon. If you would like a copy of my Excel sheet of
library listings I can forward that to you via email. It is handy if you would like to sort it by
title, author or type of lace to quickly find an entry. There are copies of each sort in the library
bag I bring to the Tuesday meetings for your perusal.
On January 28th
we had our first business meeting of the year.
We had a discussion about Saturday meetings and agreed that we would
like to have one a month. We are waiting
for the library to tell us if we may have the room. Thanks to those of you who sent in your
comments for the meeting. We will notify
you as soon as we have the location details worked out.
Thank you for
continuing your membership in Dallas Lace Society and I look forward to lacing
with you all. Now – back to those
fillings.
Sincerely,
Marilyn
Waisanen, President
