I've been so busy these last few months with ASG stuff. The American Sewing Guild, which is nationwide non-profit, educational organziation and has over 22,000 members. They recently started a Los Angeles Chapter.... Guess what, I volunteered to be VP. Since March we have grown to 160 members in our Chapter and had our kick off event with Peggy Sagers in June. Next month is our second event is with Bobbi Bullard.
I have also started a neighborhood group and we are now 10+ sewing ladies strong. We have been meeting 1x per month and each time the group grows and the previous attendees come back I am so happy.... it's like Sally Fields in the "you like me" speech she did when she won the Oscar.
The Los Angeles County Fair is next month and I have secured a booth at the Fair to help promote the ASG. 16 ladies have volunteered to help me. I want to grow our Chapter to 500+ members by next March - I'm the little train that could.... I think I can, I think I can... If you sew, why not be a member, there are so many benefits that it is well worth the $40 membership fee.... just the discount at Joann's will cover the fee in no time. Most sewing shops give an ASG discount! www.asg.org
The other part I've been working on is programing for the next year... and I've got that pretty much set.... now to find locations for the programs! It's all coming together!
