What a Fantastic Program!
For all of you who were sick with colds and flu, you really missed a fantastic meeting. Our program was presented by Robin
Spady who is much more then a weaver and teacher, she is a very creative artist! She gave us all very simple steps to follow
in making fiber wrappings. From jewelry to chandeliers. Very inspiring. We had really good food too!

New Web Service Provider
Hi all, The GUILD's web has been moved to a new service provider. It has a few new bells and whistles (like this ability
to post to a blog), and a few 'oh wells.' Nothing to stop us. All template driven with no software on the desktop.
So....any of you can volunteer to be the web master. No excuses, just a great opportunity.

The Desert Weavers began with two people getting together. Mrs. Lucy Galbraith, who was doing some weaving, learned that
Mrs. Mary Stone had been weaving since 1935. The two ladies got together for discussion and mutual help. Others joined in
for monthly meetings in 1947. The Desert Weavers had an exhibition, demonstration, and program at the Heard Museum Auditorium
April 23, 1948. The dues for the 29 members at the 1951 meeting were $1.50 and officers were first elected in that
year. In 1973 the Desert Weavers changed their name to the Arizona Desert Weavers and Spinners Guild because the Guild
now included not only weaving but also other fiber arts. At our regular meetings, educational programs are presented
and guest speakers are featured. Workshops by nationally recognized artists are held each year. The Guild also continues to
demonstrate at the Arizona State Fair, which we have done since 1951. The Arizona Desert Weavers and Spinners Guild
offers unlimited opportunity for learning and enjoying the company of people with like interests.
