ORB’S POST HOLIDAY BASH!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you saved some room for more holiday cheer (and cookies!) because it is time for our annual post holiday party. There will be lots of fun party food and drinks as well as door prizes and some party games as well.

                                    Special Guest
                You!

This meeting is going to be a play day and a chance to catch up with your fellow bead makers. Aquila has 9 torches set up that we can use. We have sample glass from Olympic Color rod and TAG to play with as well as some moretti. So bring your glasses and favorite tools. It’s playtime!

Show and Tell
Did Santa bring you a new tool or bead related item for Christmas? Are you working on something new, learn a new technique you want to share or have a bead or two you want to brag about? Bring it along for show and tell.

Bead Exchange
We will have our regular bead exchange which is open to all attendees. Just bring a bead you are proud to exchange. Wrap it in some manner- tissue, Ziploc bags are fine. Drop your trade into the "special" bag when you arrive.

Membership
As a reminder, ORBS membership runs from January 1 to December 31. It is time for everyone to renew their membership. Individual membership is just $20 a year. Kathy Perras, ORBS treasurer, will be on hand to receive membership forms and dues. Membership forms will be available at the meeting or you may download one from the ORBS website at http://www.theorbs.org/Membership%20Application.htm

As always new bead makers, prospective members and interested parties are welcome to join us for a great afternoon.

See you there!
