PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE:
And again I say Thank You!
The last two years as your president have been quite a journey. The Skagit Valley Weavers’ Guild has grown and prospered, and it has been thanks to all of the participation and support of each of you.
We have had the privilege welcoming several new members in the last couple of years, some with little or no weaving experience but an eagerness to learn and grow. You have joined in, volunteered and participated where and when you were able to continue supporting our Guild. Thank you. We are so glad you have joined us!
So many members have donated time and energy to all the little touches that make our meetings extra special: set up, clean up, cookies, tea and coffee, being that extra set of hands with a cheery, “What can I do to help?” You have inspired us by sharing your weavings and fiber arts in Show and Tell. You may not have had a committee title or office, but without YOU the Guild would not be the same. Thank you.
And many of you have gone way above and beyond. You have set up and led study groups when you saw the opportunity. You have showed up to collect, haul, sort and organize the tremendous amount of material we had for our very successful Auction. You have spent countless hours behind the scenes setting up and organizing programs and workshops, paying the bills and keeping our accounts current, maintaining the website, membership, and the library and equipment. ANWG, the show and tell and Challenge Projects, the newsletter and spinning all had strong leaders behind their success. Our community outreach adventures have been well received. Committee and planning work had been done smoothly and efficiently, and A/V work has kept our hybrid meetings running well.
You will notice I am not naming names because I will surely omit someone critical. There are so many who give so much. I may have had the title–but each one of you built the Guild to what it is today–and you should be very proud. I know I am!
Thank you.
