State Meetings

Maxi Workshops are usually scheduled two to three times a year, generally one to three days before the state Guild meeting.

​

Mini Workshops are held from 10:00 to 11:45 a.m. For most workshops, the fee is $12.00. If the guest speaker gives a mini, the fee is $15.00. 

​

Open Workshops are held in the Church's social hall from 10 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. at each meeting. Taught by individual guild members, they are free and open to all members and guests. 

​

*Many of the workshops, particularly the maxis, fill very quickly. It is recommended that you register promptly.
