President’s Message May 2008
April was a busy month, full of interesting and fun ASG activities. I attended the regional meeting April 4-5 in Salem, Oregon, where I met our Region 4 Representative, Lynn Weglarz, and many chapter presidents and members from throughout the northwest. Our chapter retreat the following weekend was a chance to relax, sew all day, and enjoy the sunny weather on the shores of Hood Canal. The Spring Sew Sampler on April 19 showcased the considerable talents of five of our chapter members, making for an enjoyable and inspirational day. Thanks to all who worked so hard to put these wonderful events together.
I attended the Seattle chapter’s spring event, featuring Diane Erickson, on May 17, where I received more creative inspiration. Remember to check out the Seattle and Olympia chapter websites (seattleasg.org and asgolympia.org) to see what they have scheduled for upcoming events. Our chapter member Connie Crawford will be presenting a 2-day fitting workshop for the Olympia chapter November 1-2 in Tacoma.
Coming up is the national conference in Chicago July 10-14, where we will celebrate ASG’s 30th birthday. Advance registration ends June 6, so sign up as soon as possible if you plan to attend.
It is time again to plan for the election of next year’s Chapter Advisory Board members. Please consider running for one of the five elective offices or volunteering for one of the appointed positions. It is very important to have all these positions filled. Having a complete board ensures that the chapter is able to provide the very best services to our members.
If you have any community service hours to report, let me know so that I can submit them to National in June. And, if you have completed any Anti-Ouch Pouches (our national community service project), get them to me so I can mail them in mid-June.
