Hi Jane, You seem to be well versed in things pertaining to the Lace Guild. I am an IOLI member and have considered joining the Lace Guild, also, but I live in the US. In addition to supporting such a worthwhile organization, their magazine is quite nice. I've enjoyed some issues obtained through

I did something different this morning. I addressed my memo to Arachne, and typed my address in the "copy to" box. Maybe that triggered something causing my memo to be delivered to a wider audience? I'm now doing this again, to test it. Wow! Jane mentions internal office situations at

Something's changed... this is the first time in ages I've been able to see one of Jeri's messages without the aid of the digest! Just a couple of points. No matter where you call from, if you are asking about something in the library and it is a day when Sara is in the office, then you will

I agree about the benefits of the book sale. When Jean Leader announced the Lace Guild book sale, I checked the list right away and found a couple treasures. They are already on their way to me in Pennsylvania. I emailed the librarian to see if they were still available. She is only there 2
