Our Guild is now an “Industrial Educator” for the Belknap Mill. This means we have formed a partnership with the Mill, and will hold all of our meetings, some of our Sit & Sews, and in-person classes at the Mill. They have refurbished the third floor, and it is beautiful. There is an elevator, a kitchenette, hardwood floors, a countless number of electrical outlets, plenty of lighting, a built-in sound system, and lots of furniture. We will continue to work with the Mill to offer great programming for the Lakes Region. It is a distinct pleasure to be “going home,” back to the location of our very first meetings in 1978. We look forward to a great partnership.
