ASG Annual Dues Increase: Our dues have not increased for several years, while National’s costs of operation have increased just as any other business has over the years. They have absorbed the increases until now. Also they have not had an increase in income for 10 years.  As of May 1, 2010 2010, dues will be $45.00 for renewing members. If you divide $45.00 by 12 months—that is $3.75 per month—which, as an ASG member, I save each month with my discounted purchases. Not to mention we now have a 15% discount at Nancy’s Notions - just food for thought. (Go to www.asg.org under “Members Only” for many more savings.) National has added the E-Classes to its web capabilities. It is free to ASG members and a wonderful way to connect with our ASG sisters from all over. If you haven’t, please check it out at embroidery.com.

Let’s have fun sewing & making new friends!!
