Weaving Opportunities
A new feature has been added to The Reeders' Report and the NCBA website. This is an opportunity for affiliated guilds, individual guild members, and other NCBA members to get some publicity. Members only, please. Sorry, we cannot simply list the availability of a teacher; it must be a specific scheduled class. Remember to include date, times, venue and cost, if applicable. We reserve the right to make the final determination as to published content. While the website has no deadlines and you can submit information at any time, The Reeders' Report does. They are:
  • October 1 for November issue
  • January 1 for the February issue
  • April 1 for the May issue
  • July 1 for the August issue
