**Business Meeting:** **Old Business:** - **Field Trips:** Jane asked whether we would like to have more "field trips" like our November meeting at Elements Beadery, and several members were in favor of more such trips. - **Meeting Location:** We also continued our discussion about changing our meeting place to Southern Oaks Recreation Center, the second Wednesday of each month, from 6-9 p.m. Penni Jo will check to see whether that time slot is open, and if it is, we will try to meet there in February to try it out. **New Business:** **Annual Guild Elections** will be held in January. Descriptions of the duties of officers are available online. We were reminded that it has been advantageous for an officer to serve for two years, although this is not mamdatory. After two years, Angela said she feels it is beneficial in most cases for a new person to take the position. We did make exception for treasurer/web master, as it is simpler to have one person continue in those positions. Although there were some conditional volunteers for librarian, the position was left open until storage issues can be addressed. After some discussion, the following slate of officers emerged: - President - Jane L. - Vice-President - April G. - Secretary - Penni Jo C. - Treasurer and Web Master - Angela M. - Librarian - TBA Nance R. will continue in two volunteer positions, BOH Coordinator and Photographer. **Officer Reports:** Program Schedule: Vice-President April G. reviewed our upcoming meeting schedule.

Nance will be teaching children who are cancer patients at Baptist Hospital on Tuesday mornings. She asked members to check for other area hospitals with cancer units, so we can begin more projects to give away Bottles of Hope. She also mentioned that we are running short of the medium-sized bottles, and those will be the best size to use with the children. **Library Report:** Jane talked about our November purchase, *Food Miniatures*, and found inspiring ideas in *The Best of Stringing*, one of our December purchases. She found *Beading 101 and Beyond* a great resource for basic information. **Library Drawing:** *Clay So Cute*, by Sherri Haab, was the winning book and will be purchased for our library this month. **Announcements:** Angela Mabray's taped segment for the television show *That's Clever* will finally be aired on January 19th.

It's time for another poly clay meeting and this one is going to be very very infomative. We will be having it at Elements Beadery in Bethany, OK where co-owner,Toni Mitchell, will be teaching us about jewelry finishing techniques and about jewelry findings. I gave them a list of the questions we had so I'm sure Toni will address them also.

The address to **Elements Beadery is 6704 NW 39th Street, Bethany OK.** The meeting will be from **10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon**. We will have the business portion of the meeting after the class at a different location.

We had a great demonstration of the "Starry Night" technique from Jane Linn, with reminders and a graphic to show us to be sure to include three intensities of color in our design: very light, medium, and fairly dark, so it would make the design pop. Penni Jo gave us a demo in making feathers using the Starry Night pattern we had just completed. **Business Meeting:** **Reports:** **Upcoming Meetings:** April G. reviewed the meeting schedule: - **November 21:** We will meet at Elements Beadery in Bethany, where a staff member will give pointers on finishing our jewelry. - **December 12:** Christmas Decorations/Giftables - **January 9:** Mica Shift Technique with Lee Ann **Treasurer's Report:** Angela reported a balance of $476.77. **Librarian's Report:** Jane L. reviewed our newest library purchase, *PolyPens: Polymer Clay Pen Sets* by Linda Peterson.

Have a sign-up list at the demo table where interested visitors could list their phone numbers and e-mail addresses. 2. Add to the back of our guild handout flyer some basic information about polymer clay and supplies to bring to the first meeting or to get started. 3. Consider having members do the demonstration in shifts. 4. Members thought the display of our banner, raised and behind the demo table was excellent. 5. On the demo table, have a display of finished projects that show the diversity of the medium, along with a sign that says, "You can do this with polymer clay." 6. We discussed adding two additional categories for the competition, one for childrens' work, and one for miniatures. It was also suggested that we break beads and buttons into two separate categories. **New Business:** - **Meeting Space:** Penni Jo invited us to visit the spacious facility at Southern Oaks Recreation Center, where she teaches her Thursday night class. We have discussed the need for more space at our meetings, and this space would give us room to grow. However, it is not open on weekends, so we would have to change our meeting time. **Announcements:** Angela updated us on several crafts shows and competitions in the area. **Library Drawing:** The winning suugestion for purchase this month was *The Polymer Clay Cookbook: Tiny Food Jewelry to Whip Up and Wear*, by Jessica and Susan Partain. **Show and Tell:** Guild members brought their state fair entries to show, and all were incredible!

With this cane, we will make 2 other canes and then cover a pen." Janes Pen is beautiful but ,unfotunately ,I have spent 2 hours trying to attach it to this announcement to no avail!

Polymer Clay Demonstration

On September 20, several group members spent the day demonstrating various polymer clay techniques to fair visitors.
