CNCHnet
The fall issue is now online and looks terrific. Go to CNCH, click on the CNCHnet button the menu bar and find out what´s happening. There are some interesting articles, great photos and some familiar names and faces. Loom and Shuttle is well represented.
Yahoo Discussion Group
Loom and Shuttle now has an on-line discussion group. The bulletin will continue as always both via e-mail and classic mail. Those of you who choose not to participate in the discussion group won't miss the bi-monthly bulletins. I will post messages that I get from sources outside the guild, ie TAC, about events that are happening before the next bulletin, but members of the guild should post directly to the forum.
For those of you who are not familiar with a Yahoo group, it is a place on the internet, where an invited group of people can post information, photos, and files and they are only accessible to those same invited people. Photos of weaving and weaving events, meeting agendas or minutes,or items to be read and voted on, looms and equipment for sale, art shows, classes, gallery events can be posted by any one in the group, no need for a central person to do the mail-out. Our group will be limited to guild members, no one who is not an actual member of the guild will be invited into the group. It is also a good place to post questions about weaving, requests for help, or announcements of overcoming weaving challenges. In short, it is a great way to keep the camaraderie of a guild meeting going throughout the month.
When you get an invite to the loomshuttleguild yahoo discussion group - just say Yes!. You need to enter the email address you wish to receive mail at, and your name (does not have to be your real name) and how you wish to receive the posts - one at a time, or in a bundle once a day or once a week. You do not need to complete the entire Yahoo profile. Thanks to Donna LaVallee for setting this up and serving as moderator. If you have questions or need advice contact Donna at donna.lavallee-AT-gmail-dot-com
