• NEW!: Many of our members have their own creative businesses and services to offer. There will be a table at each meeting designated for members to leave their business cards, class/workshop lists, postcards, etc. This is a great way to get the word out about what you have to offer!

• Please bring your name tag to the meeting. If you were paired up at the last meeting and you chose to swap at this meeting, please remember to bring the name tag. If you do not have a name tag, we can arrange a partner swap- please see any one of the NJMQG Executive Board Officers (Daniela, Amy, Tracy, Annette, or Kourtney). As always, please bring anything you may have for Show and Tell! If you took the Melissa Averinos Making Faces Workshop this past Saturday, we encourage you to share your pieces from the class!

See you on Thursday!
