Background:

SCTAG and 30 other guilds in Northern CA and NV belong to an umbrella organization called CNCH (Conference of Northern California Handweavers) whose purpose is to organize annual regional conferences for spinners, weavers, dyers, basket makers, and related other pursuits. $5 of your guild dues goes to CNCH, and every few years we are expected to help organize a conference. CNCH provides the guild with $1 million in insurance liability coverage for all events, including regular meetings. It also provides a website for sharing info, and a quarterly newsletter.
