| Description: | The Embroiderers' Guild Of America is an international organization that promotes the study and practice of the art of needle work. Our chapter is part of the Greater Pacific Region (GPR), which covers Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, and British Columbia. Meetings start at 7:00 pm and last about 2 hours. Each meeting consists of a business meeting, which typically lasts 30 minutes. After the business meeting there are refreshments and a stitching program. Guests are welcome at our general membership meetings. You may visit twice and after that we request you join as a regular member. For more information please contact Elisa Papa at elisapapa@att.net FEES: The annual dues for SBTS in 2015 are $55. This includes membership in the national EGA organization (www.egausa.org) and our region (www.ega-gpr.org), GPR. If you are already a member of EGA, you may join as a plural member and pay a portion of the dues. |
| Programs: | The programs vary each month and cover a wide variety of techniques and methods. From time to time our program is a Stitch-In where we bring our current projects, enjoy the company of other stitchers, and stitch on whatever we brought to the meeting. Annual special events include a picnic in June and a holiday party in December in lieu of the regular general membership meetings. |
| Meetings: | Monthly general membership meetings are held the second Monday of each month (except June & Dec) at the Volunteer Center of Santa Cruz Co., 1740 17th Ave,, Santa Cruz. In June and December, social events for SBTS members are held in lieu of the normal monthly meeting. |
