Highlights from the Past Executive Council Meetings….

Well the Zoom 72^nd Annual Meeting went very well. We are hoping that the 2023 will actually be a live event. Thank you to all who attended the ZOOM.

Things have been very quiet as we do not have Executive meetings in the summer. The Workshop Committee is working on preparing a Workshop at Norland on September 17^th; they have not said what it will be on yet. They are always looking for ideas, so let them know what you would like to learn next. Continue reading “Canadian Leathercrafter M-J-J-A – 2022 – Newsletter by CSCL”

Highlights from the Past Executive Council Meetings….

The Executive have been Zoom meeting each month. We have been working on preparations for the upcoming Zoom Annual Meeting on May 14^th. The Executive debated about having an in person Annual but with the uncertainty of Covid we decided it would be safer to wait another year before taking that step.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday Morning, May 14^th.

Next year we will be looking for some new volunteers to fill some of the Executive positions so if you are interested in being on the Executive let us know.
