Webmaster or Assistant Webmaster
After 5 years of ​managing the website, Pattie is looking for a creative and detail oriented person to help with the website or take over the job. 
The platform for the website is Weebly which is a drag and drop environment.  Little, if any, HTML is required to update the website, and Weebly is easy to learn.

This is a fun and rewarding job, but it does require someone who can respond promptly to changing needs of the website.

If you would like to take over this job or assist with it, please email Pattie Lamb at  
​lambweaves@yahoo.com 
Board Position:
​Membership Chair 
The guild's membership data is based in a Microsoft Access database.  Currently the database is quite automated and requires primarily data entry and push-button reporting.  A working knowledge of databases or Access would be very helpful.

Please email Pattie Lamb if are interested lambweaves@yahoo.com
