January GBS Meeting

Hey Guys!

We had our first meeting of the New Year on January 17th at Wired Up Beads in Southlake (Thanks Patti!) and introduced the newly elected officers: President–Trudy Jauquet, Vice-President–Donna Johnson, Secretary–Terry Porto and Treasurer–Patricia Scoggins (Yea that’s me). Donna talked about all the great ideas for new programs, suggested speakers and bead challenges. This is exciting, next month, Collin Smith from Beads of Courage is scheduled to visit and explain the Beads of Courage program during the February 21st meeting. Our challenge for February is a green focal, you know for St. Patty’s day. You can use any green which is lucky for me. Kelly green is just not my fav and luckily I found a stashed rod of Mediterranean Olive! And then for a change, this is very cool, we are exchanging our bead challenge beads. So get started on your focals and come and see who’s bead you get. I hope someone else likes Mediterranean Olive.
