Last year 2012 is but a memory and we’re into a new year. For our Bead Society it starts with new slate of Officers:
- Shirley Nowlin – President & Show Chair
- Lillian Skogsberg – Vice President – Monthly Program Coordinator
- Carolyn Slater – Secretary
- Tish Reed – Treasurer
- Vickie Backer and Diane Mayes (Immediate Past President) – Library
- Kim Butler – Membership
Program:
Tish Reed is going to lead the group in our annual production of bead squares for the Bead and Button Bead Quilt auction benefiting breast cancer research.
This year’s theme is: “Flowers: Stitching to Find a Bloomin' Cure.” All you have to do to participate in this fun and worthwhile project is create one or more 1.5" x 1.5: (3.8 x 3.8 cm) beaded squares (stitched onto a 2" square) and send them to Bead & Button. You can use any bead technique you want – provided it includes a flower.
The complete rules and guidelines, as well as sample patterns can be downloaded HERE:
The deadline for submitting squares is March 1, 2013, so we have plenty of time to create squares. The beading fun will start at 12:00 noon in the area outside of the first floor Solarium and then continue inside the Solarium at 1:00 pm after the Polymer Clay meeting concludes and we'll finish at 3:00. But, remember ‐ you have until March 1, 2013 to send in your squares ‐ so feel free to continue at home on your own. But, I would like to have all completed squares in by February 16 (our next meeting date), so I can make sure they get to Bead and Button on time.

As in the past, I will bring the base squares, some flower beads and what's left of my bead soup to start the fun. You need to bring:
- Beads (seed beads, flower beads – whatever you want to include in the square)
- Bead needles
- Bead thread
- Bead mat or other surface
- Light and extension cord
- Scissors
- Light snack and/or drink to share - optional
Parking:
Please park in the uncovered spaces in the rear of the gated parking lot. Covered spaces are for residents of Bayou Manor only. After parking, walk back through either the pedestrian or vehicle gate and access the building through the main entrance. Please check in with the receptionist for an ID badge before proceeding to the auditorium.
Vendors:
Any current member can be a vendor at the monthly meetings. The cost is $10 for one 6' table, payable when HBS Treasurer, Tish Reed, comes by to collect, not once sales are generated. Vendors must provide their own table coverings and may arrive at 9:00 a.m. and sell until HBS President, Shirley Nowlin, announces that the meeting will begin. Vendors are expected to cover their tables at that time and may resume sales once the meeting is over. Everyone must vacate the auditorium no later than 12:30 p.m. If you would like to vend this month, please contact Shirley at slnowlin@yahoo.com or 713-294-9886 by January 18.
Library:
The library will be open for checking out materials. The monthly raffle will be underway until Shirley announces that meeting will start, so be sure to purchase your raffle tickets before the meeting starts. Tickets are $0.50 each.
Membership:
For our members who keep their membership current, we are very appreciative of your efforts. It allows you to attend monthly meetings and have the opportunity to participate in the monthly programs. Dues are $30 per year for an individual and $40 per year for a family membership (two persons living in the same household). Our Membership Coordinator, Kim Butler, can handle your renewal.
Looking forward to seeing you at the meeting!!!
