Gerry White,
owner of Beads By Design and the Southeast Regional Coordinator for ISGB
reminded us that ISGB dues are due and that we can pay them online if we
wish to. She also told us about the Release a Bead program that ISGB is
sponsoring. Make a bead, put it in a plastic bag with a special
card, and put it out for someone to find. Gerry will have
the insert cards available at her store and if you want more details
about the program go to
www.releaseabead.com or link to it from the ISGB website.

Cake. (Photo by Andrew

A close-up of the cake. And thanks to Cristie Prince who makes sure we are all well fed at our meetings.

We are not sure whether Margo Knight
wore these colorful shoes to celebrate Becky's birthday or in honor of
Margie Deeb and Kristy Nijenkamp's lecture on color. But they are
sure are colorful and they do match the cake!
