Just a quick note – the Board, at the 1/11/23 meeting, decided to modify our stance on the Newsletter and Weekly Update communiques sent out. We had been sending both of those items to basically anyone and everyone. Now, however, the Newsletter will be sent only to Members and the new Newsletter Editor is working on including more varied information that is specific to the needs and interests of our Members. If there is a topic that you’ve wondered about – perhaps you’d like to hear about the issues facing the guild in 1973, when dues were a whopping $6 a year, or would like to see pictures from a Fashion Show in a specific year – feel free to email Newsletter@thsg.org with your request.
As a result of the decision to make the Newsletter more ‘special’ for Members, we’ve also decided to reduce the number of times that the Update comes out. It’s likely that the Update will be published on the 2nd and 3rd Tuesdays of the month, starting with February 2023. The concern is that so much information is sent out (shout out to our Update Editor – she does TOO GOOD of a job!) that people are not sitting down and actually reading through the Update. So we’re trying to strike a balance between giving folks information they can use and overwhelming them with all of the opportunities available to them. Feel free to email update@thsg.org if you have a specific day or time of month you think would be better.
Members of the Guild are automatically placed on the mailing list for both the Newsletter and the Update. If you unsubscribe from one, you WILL be unsubscribed from the other, so do consider that before hitting the ‘unsubscribe’ button. If you are not a member and have subscribed to the Update from the website, you should see no change except for a reduction in the number of emails you receive.
Also, as a result of this decision, the Newsletters link that was on the front page of the thsg.org website has been moved to the Membership tab in the Members Only area.
