[Artemisia] Artemisia Needleworker Guild

[Jerry Shaeffer]

Dear heart,
 
I believe you are laboring under a misconception.  I will still lead the Arn Hold Group.  We are talking about a kingdomwide Needleworker's Guild.
 
Things are still in the VERY remote planning stages.  We are just getting ideas coordinated from interested parties.
 
Thanks

Tor

I had to think about this for a couple of days before I responded...Because
I knew if I opened my mouth, I would be volunteering for something!  

Hold on there just a gosh darn minute...I don't think it's quite dead yet!!!
At least, I don't want it to be.  I am being selfish here, but I need to
learn from the people who know about needlework.  That work may include
fancy decorative stitching, or hand stitching a garment.  In short, I need
you guys!!!

The Barony needs us too.  They have approved the purchase of materials to
make the B & B some super awesome mantles, and ever since I have made that
presentation, people who have not come to guild meetings are
extremely...yes, I said extremely...interested in completing a square.
Three people asked me about it at the last Populous meeting I attended.  

Tor, you have been the fearless, leader, and you have taught us lots...the
beading thing was really cool!  I imagine you are tired.  It takes a lot of
effort to wrangle people, and teach them how to do things, answer questions,
and such.  I understand that.  

I will offer my help.  I want Needleworker Guild to continue.  I have
offered up a big, period project...and many people seem interested.  If I
have to hose out my house and kennel the dog, so I can offer a stitching
party, then I will do it.  If I have to advertise and offer a second meeting
place for the convenience of the populous, then I will.  I think the
Needleworker's Guild is important for new members who are learning for the
first time, and people who have been around a while and want to hone their
skills.  I would be very sad to see it go away.

Hello,
 
The Royal Artemisian Needleworkers Guild died a slow death due to apathy. 
Although, I was in that group originally and still have some of the original
patterns/designs of the group.  Even attended a few meetings at events.
 
I created a facebook group called: Needleworkers - Kingdom of Artemsia
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=135161434754&ref=share  But
this was merely a place to get people to come together.
 
1. Who is the Guild Head and how do we contact them? 
 
I don't believe that we actually have a Guild Head anymore.

2.  What groups and/or persons are actively participating in this guild? 
 
Arn Hold has an active needleworkers guild and has met for over five years
regularly to work on projects and techniques

3.  The web site appears to have died... would it be ok if we work with our
local web minister to get the charter, etc reposted within our groups web
page and also replicated in one of our local newsletters so that it is
available to the general populous?  I have a printed a copy from a few years
ago (whew)
 
That sounds good to me.  I don't know much about web stuff, which is why I
did the facebook group.  It was easiest thing to do.

4.  Does the charter need to be renewed (originated A.S. XXXV),  and if yes,
how is that done? 
 
I think that for charters, it doesn't have to be renewed per say, since it
was given crown authority.  However, it couldn't hurt.  Possibly the Kingdom
Arts & Sciences person would be a good place to start with that.

Hope that answers any questions that you might have.  Feel free to contact
me if you'd like more information.
