Message from NER Director
Just before I sat down to write this letter, I put my first jug of sun tea out to brew!! Not a bad thing to be able to do in mid-march.
Beth McKee and I are just recently back from the EGA Board of Directors' meetings in Louisville. Headquarters is all unpacked and completed with several wonderful pieces from The Collection on display as well as the National Tapestry. The staff is also complete with the addition of Sharon Chatman as Administrator. I hope many of you will get to meet her as she and Tonya will be at the EGA Seminar. (Yes, that is a hint that you should go.) Beth and I had many long talks after the meetings about the future of EGA and NER.
The March NER Board Meeting brought information on many exciting events coming in the next year. We will be offering Region sponsored 3 Group Correspondence Courses spaced throughout the year so you can do them all without being rushed. The first of these will be Mark & Paint on Canvas & Fabric.
Region Day 2012, September 29, will have two National teachers. Marie Campbell will teach “Gloria Netted Rope Pearl Bangle” and Betsy Morgan will teach “Gathering for Winter Etui”.
NER's Next Region Seminar in Hartford, CT, April 5-7, 2013, is on schedule to be a great event. The Faculty Committee had many wonderful proposals for the Board to preview at the meeting.
I hope you will all participate in the many Chapter programs and workshops listed in the calendar OR, better yet, present ideas to your committees or even offer to teach a program next year. We are all so talented!
Stitch a little every day. It is good for your mood and your mind,
Pat
