We are going to have another Beads Of Courage
Day, making glass beads for this wonderful
organization. Please bring some glass to use. If
you don't have any glass in rods, there will be lots
of extra there for you to use. There will be
mandrels and torches to use. We usually charge a
$10 fee to help pay for the oxygen and propane. If
a lot of people show up, then that fee will be
reduced to $5. If you don't know how to make beads,
or you have never been on a torch, we train. We
will have lots of "teachers" there to help assist.
Think of it as a "free lesson". We have gotten so
many of our members on the torch and making really
good beads. It"s a great social time as well as
doing something really important for our community.
Bring a treat to share. Water will be provided, but
if you would like to bring something else (apple
cider comes to mind), please feel free to do so.
Basically, there is nothing there to stop you from
coming and participating, except the Broncos, and we
can arrange for you to watch the game. For more
information on The Beads Of Courage, please go to
www.beadsofcourage.org.
I will have applications and postcards for the
Echter's Show and Sale at the meeting. Come with
all your questions. Echter's will start on November
1st, so we need to be ready. Also, if you
participate, you must show sit at least twice during
the show for a 4 hour span. Please come with your
personal calendars so you can sign up at the meeting
for your favorite time slots. First come, first
served. I still need a volunteer to handle the
volunteer work chart, take down of the show,
Artist's Awards Party (which happens on Saturday,
Nov. 3), and demos. If you can help set-up on Nov.
1st, please call J Bisant at 303-238-6241. She is
in charge of that. I need to obtain a judge, so if
you know of someone in the arts, who is good, please
let me know. Give me a call if you can do any of
the above tasks. Thank you.
Although we have lots of tables to use, if you
have an extra table (4ft. or 6ft.), that you would
like to use for your display, please feel free to
bring it along. I'm sure we could find room for it
and a tablecloth. This would allow other
participants to spread out a little, so we don't
look so jumbled up. Please note that displays also
get a first place award, so think ahead and do a
good job.
Hope to see a lot of you at the meeting. I am
trying to get a date with Holly Morrison of Denver
Glass Machinery, to go over cold working. She just
has to figure out a good day for herself. Bring a
treat to share and be prepared to make tons of beads
for our friends and for the kids. It's such a
worthwhile event.
