Holiday Luncheon Highlight

Members enjoyed a holiday celebration on December 11, 2012 at Trolley Junction Restaurant in Nevada City. Members had a choice of pasta, chicken or prime rib for lunch followed by a New York Style cheesecake for dessert. 

A white elephant gift exchange proved to be good spirited fun for the members complete with gift stealing, trading and attempts at concealing. There were lots of laughs and good natured teasing exchanged in addition to the gifts. 

The club recognized Barbara Wilson for her service this past year as President. Barbara has done a great job serving the Craft Guild in this role. 

Jackie Hastings was recognized as the Craft Guild's Member of the year. Jackie was presented with a plaque on behalf of the membership and thanked for her hard work and dedication throughout the year. Jackie is an active member of the Guild, being responsible for spearheading the efforts of the kitchen during Winterfaire and organizing a fund raiser for Sammie's Friends in which she sold craft supplies to Guild members and donated the proceeds to the animal assistance organization.

Craft Guild of Nevada County Gives Back

Every year the members of the Craft Guild of Nevada County work tirelessly to create gifts to be distributed to home-bound seniors. The hand-crafted gifts include quilts, clothes protectors, crocheted blankets and much more. These items are donated to and distributed by the Senior Outreach Program. Pictured in the photos are the Senior Outreach Program Holiday Program Director Judi Barber (right in duo photo) and Craft Guild Member Jeannie Norman who heads up the workshops to produce a large number of the gifts.
