Guild of Metalsmiths Meeting December 4, 2022

Join Guild of Metalsmiths families for our annual holiday gathering at the CSPS Hall in St. Paul (address 383 Michigan St., St. Paul, MN 55102, at the corner of West 7th and Western). The hall will open at noon. We usually share hors d’ouvres as people arrive, so bring your favorites if you wish.
The annual business meeting is first on the agenda, including awards, elections, and the normal business stuff starting at 1:00 pm and going on for an hour or so. See paragraph below for a proposed bylaws change to be discussed. Your participation is key to this. That leads into show and tell, and possibly an impromptu mini-auction. By then, we’ll all have worked up an appetite to sit down to our always delightful holiday potluck. Please bring a dish to pass.
If you’re a first-timer to this event, just go upstairs at the front of the building when you get there. An elevator entrance is also located on the side just off the parking lot. Bring your family!
Any questions about this meeting can be answered by contacting meeting champion Mike Frattalone at icemanfratt@aol.com.

Proposed change to TGoM bylaws
Below is a proposed change in the Meeting section of TGoM’s bylaws. The TGoM board is proposing to remove the words “THE SECOND WEDNESDAY OF THE”, in the paragraph about the membership meetings.
The new language proposes this sentence to state “GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETINGS SHALL BE HELD SIX TIMES A YEAR. MEETINGS ARE SCHEDULED FOR THE MONTHS OF FEBRUARY, APRIL, JUNE, AUGUST, OCTOBER, AND DECEMBER.”
To read the entire MEETINGS section and/or the bylaws in their entirety, please follow the hyperlink below to the bylaws page on our website, under the “MEETINGS” paragraph:
