About 40 members and guests gathered July 10 for a mid summer meeting in the much larger Greenwood room. Hope we can get it again, don’t you? Chandra led the meeting and got us quickly through the business section of the meeting and on to a fun exercise. The name tagging activity challenged us to interpret a fellow member’s signature into a graphic design. With a little help from our neighbors and after getting out of our boxes, we were off to the races.
Our first member survey revealed the number one favorite color in the guild is GREEN! Is our choice influenced by Pantone’s color of the year, Emerald, or is it influenced of our beautiful natural environment? Afterall, we live in the Evergreen State and are based in the Emerald City.
