well I have been doing a little work on the leather guild issue here in the pacific northwest, and have come up with a sign up list that has been posted on the window next to the front door in the Tandy Leather factory here in portland. if anyone is interested in joining a leather guild for the pacific northwest/ portland oregon area, please send me your information and I will add it to the list. once we get a decent list generated, we will concentrate on meeting times. the meetings will be held at the leather factory, and we will use those meetings for elections, generating ideas for classes, or anything else that is decided. bob stelmac of the PSLAC has already told us that once we are formed, he will post us in the rawhide gazzette. it will be really cool to get to know some of you and be active in a group that I have a positive interest in. you can shoot me an email to place your name on the list, or send the store an email. portland@leatherfactory.com ATTN:guild
