Members of the Guild were saddened to
learn of the passing of Zelpha Gentry. Zelpha died December 22 in
Riverside, California, of heart failure. Her talent and zesty personality
will be missed by all.
If you are looking for directions for
"Bosom Buddies," they are on the Mailbag page. This is for our
latest service project.
The annual Pagosa Springs retreat is
scheduled for April 14th and 15th. Members are encouraged to call The
Springs and make room reservations. You are also welcome to come for the
day or the evening for dinner and a soak. For more information, contact
any guild officer.

The Four Corners Weavers Guild spreads holiday
cheer!
The Guild selected, as their service project for 2011, to make hats
and scarves for local women's shelters. Three shelters were chosen to
receive these wonderful gifts, Masada House in Farmington, which provides
transitional living for women, Volunteers of America Durango Community Shelter
and Safehouse, and a home in Cortez.
