January 2011
Our first meeting of the year was a blast thanks to the almost 50 members who braved the cold to gather to talk all about glass beads.
* Patti Cahill gave a fabulous demo showing how to make a very large bead on a Puffy Mandrel
* Wale Apparatus - Dan Brucker was busy helping us with our glass orders, tools and supplies.
* Terry D'Addio who continues to collect beads for Beads of Courage collected many beads donated by members and Frederick Hot Glass members. Thanks to all who donated!
Congratulations to our two raffle winners:
Lisa St. Martin, who was the winner of our membership drive and won a $25 gift certificate from Wale Apparatus.
Candi Durusu, who was the winner of Bead of the Quarter and won Gail Crossman Moore's Borosilicate Beads of Nature by Jim Kervin..
