Update:
Please note that today's meeting is cancelled due to the wondrous snow event! So get outside, make yourself a snow-person, or some snow creature as the case may be. If you throw snowballs please wear the appropriate safety gear ie. certified safety glasses and or face shield, hard hat, steel-toed shoes and chest plate.
A little birdy who flew through the torrent of snow and the cascading icicles just told me that the meeting has been rescheduled for Jan 15, 2011.
So all the cool people will be at Avery Creek Community center on Jan 15, 2011. Will you?

Meeting Minutes: Nov 12, 2010
BRPCG November Meeting Minutes 2010
Amy had nursing duty, so Sharon called the meeting to order.
Barb announced that we will be holding elections at our next meeting in January for the positions of:
• Vice President
• Treasurer
• Event Coordinator
We are looking for candidates, so anyone who is interested in helping keep the world's best clay guild great, please step up.
Our account has a healthy balance, so it is possible we could have two events next year. We keep discussing who the next teacher to bring in should be. So far our suggestions are:
January is dues month, so bring your checkbooks. For my money, membership is the best bargain going. As a reminder, you must be a member in good standing before a workshop is announced in order to get the member discount. Let's all make it a point to pay up in January so we don't have to waste time on reminders? It's only $25 (with a discount for additional household members) so just Pay so we can Clay!
Pete traveled light so she had plenty of room to take home beads.
Bridget brought back wild tales of a fun weekend at Klew's workshop in Vicksburg, MS. Plus, she opened her big mouth and raved about the goody bags the Central MS Clay Guild had that she volunteered herself into a new job. Get ready to crank up production for our next event, as Bridget starts us on the road to creating truly memorable goody bags.
Maggie shared her haloween masks and some really bizarre fairies. They just don't come much more creative and imaginative than our Maggie. Must be the company she keeps. Cheryl had come zipping by on her motorcycle to drop off her library books so they wouldn't be late.
Teresa was busily working away making leather armour for her troll.
Barb created a golden goblet in true ghetto style. She turned about 50 cents worth of yard sale findings into a work of art.
Jean was busy getting packed up to head to Ft. Lauderdale, but made time to at least drop by and show us the wonderful bracelet and necklace she made from Julie's cane slices. She made a few twists and modifications to come up with a piece that was uniquely hers.
Sharon is a happy camper. Her son is home, and she has a new toy and a new motto, "Have Torch, Will Burn". Seriously, though, she is making beautiful glasswork from the get-go.
Pat finally pulled her head out of the library project and got to work. She made a lovely fall leaf necklace from Julie's technique. Pat had just come back from a trip to Vegas with her mom. While there, her Mom had to show up the kids. While they turned in by 11 each night, Mom was out till all hours, proudly wearing her custom name tag, which announced that her Name was Betty and she was in room XXX. Some nights I could use one of those!
Sharon did a demo based on Christi Freissen's bead-studded creatures to give us ideas and then we did what we'd all come to do: SHOP!
We had brought in Mary Lee's beads for a sale and they were a big hit. Much fun was had poring through the treasures. And we made a few pretty pennies for the guild in the process.
2 Special Offers for anyone going to Cabin Fever. Bridget has herself a new vehicle and will drive if anyone wants to ride along. Or – if anyone wants to fly and doesn't want to lug clay on the plane, she'll even haul supplies. Think about it!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All. See you in January.
