| Board Members Programs VP - Stevie Halliwell Workshops - Marsha King |
Guild Workshops are open to all members first and are limited to 20 students. If
there is space in the class then it will be open to non-guild people. If there is no
waiting list, you must find a person to take your place in order to get a refund. You
can show up 30 minutes prior to the scheduled time to set up your work area. You
will have 30 minutes following the workshop for clean up.
Sign up for a workshop at the guild meeting or by sending an email to the
Workshop coordinator, Marsha King, at quilter@smithtownstitchers.com
**The Workshop coordinators are looking for a few good quilters who
would be interested in teaching a quilting related class. All Teachers
will receive a stipend and lunch. Let Marsha know, at the next meeting,
if you are interested. Thank you!
