Introduction

Hi, I'm Gloria and just recently got into beading and could use some help and pointers and this sounds like a great meetup group. Glad I ran across it.

How long have you been beading?

Just about the past 6 months.

What type of jewelry do you like to make?

Glass, czech, saworski crystal necklaces, bracelets. Would like to learn weaving techniques, crocheting, etc.

Would you like to volunteer to support a NVBS activity? If so, what? (bead show, May auction, teach, outreach, snacks, lead a committee, etc.)

Sorry but right now, I don't know enough about the group to volunteer but certainly later on. I also don't know where you are located. I live in Upper Marlboro, Md

The 50 Something Cherry Blossom Cruise says it is closed to new people. I checked with the Cruise line and there are lots of spaces still available. How do I change the closed rsvp to still active?

Hi Gloria, thanks for the welcome. I grew up right on the Ohio-PA line near New Bedford Pa -- that's between New Castle and Youngstown. I graduated from Mohawk HS and from Pitt. Always good to find another PA expatriate in Ravens territory!!

Dear Creative Jewelry Friends,

This Meetup is sponsored by the Northern Virginia Bead Society (NVBS), a Non-Profit organization created in February of 1992. Lorraine Morton, who passed away in 2009, was one of the founding 13 members.

Our purpose is to encourage members of the community to appreciate and participate in the visual arts through beads. We endeavor to provide a network for education opportunities and the exchange of ideas about beads and techniques in beading. We sponsor a bead and jewelry Auction (May) and a full scale Bead and Jewelry show (Sept/Oct) every year! We bring artists from all over the nation to Virginia to speak at meetings and teach workshops.

The NVBS supports bead related non-profit activities. Members gather annually to make necklaces and earrings for “Dress For Success” – a Non-profit organization that provides interview suits, confidence boosts, and career development to low-income women, “Diva Central” - a local Prom Dress program for teens, The Girl Scouts – assisting them with badge requirements and community service hours, and most recently, 7000 Bracelets for Hope for the Global Genes project - support for kids suffering from rare diseases and disorders.

JOIN US AT OUR MONTHLY MEETINGS Everyone welcome! Meetings are usually held on the first Thursday of the month at the Vienna Community Center (VCC), 120 Cherry St SE, Vienna, VA. We take a break from our meetings during June, July and August.

7:00–Social Time 7:30–Business 7:45–Program - Guest artist or hands on activities. If we have a guest artist, there is usually a weekend class or two.

Programs vary from bead history and lore to demonstrations, how-to, and more.
