Members of the Western Reserve Guild – 
 
Our Guild has been asked to participate in a textile event in Peninsula July 18.  The organizers would like a response next week after our guild meeting.  A rug hooking guild and stitching guild will also join the event.  
 
We will need volunteers to organize and staff the event.  This matter will be discussed May 26 at the guild meeting.  For those unable to attend the meeting, please email comments to me at svjanis@oh.rr.com.
 
Attached is the information sent by the Peninsula Foundation.
