A Heartfelt Thank You to All Who Have Donated !

Only your gifts of money, lace and time have made it possible to keep the museum doors
open. You have made it possible to continue our mission:

To preserve lace and the art of lace making
To exhibit lace and its historical use
To offer instruction in all facets of lace making

Thank you to all who have donated book marks to be sold to help support the museum. We hope that more of you are working on something special for our gift shop. All donations of handmade lace to sell are welcome. We also need Christmas ornaments and lace snowflakes for our November sale.

Thank you to new volunteers who have stepped up to help us with newsletter, displays and workshops. More hands mean lighter work.

Guild Seeks New President

As we start a new year, it is a good time to reflect on the fate of the Guild and it’s goals and purpose. As well as many supportive members living outside the greater Bay Area, we have about 65 local members. About one quarter of the local members are active volunteers, either at the museum or demonstrating at fairs and shows. Most are not able or willing to attend Guild meetings on the second Sunday afternoon of the month. We presently have no one designated as President of the Guild. No one is organizing speakers or activities for the group. To retain our IOLI Charter, we need to revitalize the Guild and install a President. Is there someone who would be willing to step up to the challenge? Are there other ideas for a meeting time?

Semi-annual Vintage Sale - watch for new date

Volunteers needed:

Do you like to decorate and arrange furniture? Then you would also be helpful in setting up new lace displays. Those who used to do it are no longer able and we seek new volunteers to join the new committee. You don’t need to be a lace maker to help. Just call the museum!
