There will be no June meeting. Elfriede wishes everyone a healthy summer and we hope to get together in September. Details for the autumn plans will come out in August.

The nominating committee (Victoria, Lynne and Elfriede) are putting together a slate of officers before then.

Call Elfriede with questions.

Joan has been hard at work. Surprised?

There are no immediate arrangements.  A celebration close to her autumn birthday is being arranged.

Our member Deb Silver has won First Place and Complex Weavers Award in the Complexity 2018 juried exhibition for Complex Weavers.This exhibition is in conjunction with their conference in Reno, Nevada.

The piece is called “Planning the Revolution”. Deb says, “It’s a total shocker because most of the work there is done on computer looms with MANY shafts.”

Surely that is no small feat.  So a big tip of the hat goes to Deb from all her CWG friends.
