Happy New Year Everyone.

It is hard to believe that is January and that the Northwest Chapter of FSG is more than 20 years old.

As we start this new decade, I would like to schedule our first meeting for the year on Sunday (yes Sunday!), January 19th at 1:00 pm to be held at the FSG studio at the Making Awesome Makers Space, located at 2818 Industrial Drive, suite H.

There will be a general membership meeting, followed by time for members to use the FSG studio and equipment. So bring along your new or unfinished projects to work on.

Please think about what you would like FSG to accomplish during this year, such as workshops, and other ways to become more visible in the community and to attract new members. I would also like the meetings to include open studio time and/or demos each month.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I hope you can come on the 19th, and if you know anyone who might be interested in FSG, please invite them to come.

Starr Payne

President, FSGNW
