* I have been working with the SAQA Strategic Planning Study Group for six months and we are nearing the finalization of an important Report to the Board in April 2019 at the SAQA Conference, San Jose, California during their Annual Conference. A truly rewarding Experience.
* As Chair, SAQA Regional Grants Committee, I will be back on ZOOM meeting duty with a terrific Committee component working to consider Grants Applications from Regional Reps around the world for Special Events funding in 2019. * I am weaving, learning FRINGELESS Weaving technique from Rebecca Mezoff and Susan Sweet and loving the process, https://rebeccamezoff.com/fringeless/ * and working on art for upcoming shows: QUINTE FIBRE ARTISTS: "Evolving Traditions" at the Belleville Public Library, Opening February 21st with Reception on Saturday, February 23rd.

So, along with the classes that I am teaching at the TETT Centre in February and March, I am busy in the studio, creating and cleaning/purging/organizing (this is THAT time of year) and looking forward to great walks in the out of doors as weather permits. Hope your world is fun and arts focused. Bethany
