[Ek_fiber] Moving forward and some questions

[Lois Perry]

Hello Sarah

I don't thing we should worry much about how the guild will be set up or 
how it will function until we have more members but we should have some 
idea of what we will cover. Do we want to include things like costuming, 
sewing, knitting, quilting, basketry - all fibre arts or fibre 
activities. Or are we going to concentrate on the beginnings of fibre - 
fibre preparation, spinning, weaving, and dyeing. We could try to 
include all fibre related activity and be a general guild but it is good 
to have some idea of what to put in the announcement.

The East Kingdom page has a good list of locations.     
http://www.eastkingdom.org/branches.html

If we divide it amongst us to take the responsibility for sending the 
announcement to the groups, the work will go quickly and we should get 
pretty good coverage. If all are in agreement I will do the Northern 
Shores area. I belong to most of the lists here or have a contact I can 
get hold of to send it out. We should try to include the announcement in 
any of the local newsletters we know as well.

Sarah: I am fairly good at editing and well look over your announcement 
for you if you like. Just let me know so I will be sure to check my mail
