[lace] Volunteers, Lace Newsletters, Lace Study Aids

[Jeriames]

There is no Privacy notice in connection with the email  letter described 
below.  The Lace Guild in England was asking for  volunteers in their most 
recent quarterly bulletins, and I think staffing  problems apply to many 
guilds, so am commenting.
 
The Lace Group/Guild which serves the Washington DC, Virginia,  Maryland, 
Delaware area - sent a letter to members this week.  In addition  to other 
news, the letter to me says they no longer have a newsletter  editor.  OMG.  
They will send e-mails announcing important  events, meetings, classes.  I 
submit that newsletters are important  records, and sometimes they are all 
that members who cannot attend meetings  have to enjoy in return for paying 
dues.  What about members  whose ISPs are incompatible with each other ... 
subject of a memo I sent to  Arachne earlier today?  Are they guaranteed to 
receive  e-mails?
 
The letter also asks:  "Who would like to be our  librarian?  We have a 
selection of DVDs.  Without a librarian, we will  disband the library."  OMG.  
Being a librarian that manages  DVDs does not seem to require special 
qualifications.  The  letter does not mention a library of lace books, but most 
guilds have one  for use by members.  My next logical question would be about 
how  members are borrowing lace books.  Since I am 12+ hours of  driving 
away from this part of America, I never attend meetings and do not know  all 
details.  My reason for belonging is to receive  newsletters and know what is 
happening - for my research library.  
 
How can these things happen in such a critical geographical  location in 
the US?  
 
Arachne members: Please volunteer when your local lace group needs  help.  
Share your abilities.  If you do not believe you are needed,  please read 
some of my long-ago memos to Arachne (in Arachne archives)  that tell why The 
Lace Guild of New York and other  lace/embroidery groups disbanded, even 
though they were popular.   Officer positions must be filled !!!  It is 
mandatory that  not-for-profit organizations have officers.  And, those 
officers 
need  the help that newsletter editors and librarians provide.

[lace] Missing Mails from Me (Jeri Ames) - please repost

[Jeriames]

This is acknowledgement of a problem.  There is no need to  respond and 
fill up Arachne digests.
 
Some of this may be related to the very old server we are  using.  Add the 
problems of ISPs not cooperating with each other, and  "Houston, we have a 
problem".
 
Sorry so many of you are not receiving my AOL mails, and have to rely on  
others to repost.  
 
After holiday tasks are completed, I will wage another battle with AOL  - 
they always keep me waiting on the phone for long periods of  time and these 
employees hold powerless (sometimes  untrained) positions.  
 
My AOL address is embedded in articles, in search sites,  in computers, and 
hand-written on my business cards in the hands of  people all over the 
world.  That presents problems for lace  researchers trying to reach me and the 
experts with whom I consult.  

AOL and other ISPs will not forward to a new address, and there  is no one 
non-government place to make an address change (like there  is with 
government-operated post offices).
 
Losing track of people because ISPs are not cooperating with each other  is 
(my opinion) criminal, since it can affect medical practitioners,  law 
enforcement, researchers of all kinds, people sending resumes and  receiving 
e-mails from potential employers, and so forth.  
 
I have always written for all 1,000 of you, with no one empowered  to edit 
my words (my preference, and why I do not write for lace  bulletins).  Since 
all of you are no longer receiving my letters,  I have cut back on writing. 
 
Probably, I cannot get Jeriames@ (another ISP), which could be easy  for 
you all to remember.  A change will have  hidden costs - money that could be 
used for book purchases.  I'll have  to hire my computer guru for more hours. 
 Not sure how much he'd have to  do.  But, living in a sparsely populated 
place means numerous  computer-related operations have no local support here. 
 I have  intellectual and patience limits, and do not want to spend time  
learning a lot of new instructions and how to  navigate over-designed busy 
screens and menus.

I am leaving Jeri's message attached to this, so those who do not receive
her emails can read about this.

Thank you for reporting this, Jeri.  It's knowledge like this that makes
those fortunate enough to travel make specific plans so they can visit
places like this.

Subject: [lace] New Lace Museum in Detroit Michigan USA - please repost

We exist to quickly present news of importance to the international lace
community.  Why has no Arachne member written about this new lace museum
that opened less than a month ago?
 
I am half a continent away, there are lace experts closer to it, and I am
the first to find it while doing a search for something else?  Or, in a
reversal of faulty mail reception, has someone written, but the news not
come to me?
 
Would someone or a lace group in the Detroit Area please  physically visit
this museum, write a report to us, and find out if IOLI is  writing about
this new member?  IOLI is mentioned at the bottom of the  new museum's
website:
 
_www.thelacemuseumllc.com/_ (http://www.thelacemuseumllc.com/) 
 
This museum's name is close to the name of The Lace Museum in Sunnyvale
California.
 
About 20 years ago, Lace Fairy was developing as the first virtual lace  
museum in the U.S., with my support.   
 
The name Lori Howe wanted to use was Lace Museum.  I suggested not  trying
to compete with an existing museum, even if the management of that museum
was slow to present itself to people who owned computers.  Now, we
Americans have a welcome mid-western lace facility, with very  little in the
name to differentiate it.

RE: [lace] Our 2016 Card Exchange Site is now launched online

[J-D Hammett]

Dear Jenny and fellow Arachnids,



What a lovely collection of work and so varied. It is a privilege to ‘know’ so
many talented people. My heartfelt thanks to both Jenny and Janet for all
their hard work in putting the exchange and website together. It is also good
to see that so many have added the extra info as it helps everybody to find
nice pattern- and thread ideas more easily as well as seeing different ways of
presenting things.



Wishing all Arachnids;



HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A LACEFUL, PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.



Joepie Hammett
