Despite raw, snowy weather, the Guild’s Annual Membership Meeting was warm and lively.
The Guild’s Annual Membership Meeting re-elects Board for 2015
Anytime Guilders get together, you can expect a lively time. We talked, we laughed, we ate. But first, we did some business and reviewed the past year — and looked forward to making 2015 even better.
2014 was an incredible year of change for the Guild, yet a great year in all kinds of.ways. For the first time in our almost 70 year history, the Guild is now its own 501(c)3, along with a new staff union represented by MNA. Here are a few photos of the event.
