    • Members must attend at least 3 workshops (2 hours each) per year. (1 during Covid).
    • Develop leadership skills by holding a position of responsibility.
  • Social
    • Throughout our 100-year history, we have had a special spring celebration. Members have created table settings (1-8 settings) from their own (or relatives’) china, stoneware, picnic-ware, etc. as venue to share our personal heritage and creativity.
    • Exhibit one or more pieces of arts or crafts taught during the fiscal year at the Table Setting Luncheon.
    • Participate in Club events and fundraisers, including bake sales, Table Setting Luncheon in April, craft sales, etc.
