Upcoming Events

Monthly Meetings

The guild has regular monthly meetings on the third Saturday of most months from 2-4pm on the northwest side of Chicago. There are pot-luck munchies and tea available at the meetings. Other events of interest to costumers and projects we're working on are discussed at the meetings, as well as any club business.

May Meeting

May's Meeting is Saturday, May 17th, at the usual time and place, unless re-scheduled...

The first meeting for non-members is free to see if you'll enjoy the group ($3 for non-members after the first), and the meetings are always free for members.  For further info on the monthly meeting contact Renata O'Connor-Rose (oushva *at* yahoo.com).
