The Great Lakes Beadworkers Guild will meet at the First Presbyterian Church, 1669 West Maple, in Birmingham. First Presbyterian of Birmingham is a very large church on the south side of Maple between Southfield Road and Evergreen Road. It is air-conditioned with a much larger meeting room, a built-in projection screen, sound system and a lot more parking!

We can have refreshments and our library cabinet will be right next to our meeting area. There are 12 steps down into Knox Fellowship Hall, with a motorized lift on one side of the stairs, so the room will be accessible to everyone.

Monthly general meetings for members of the Great Lakes Beadworkers Guild begin with socializing at 6:30 p.m. and programs from 7-9 p.m. on the third Tuesday of the month (except December) at: First Presbyterian Church 1669 West Maple, Birmingham, MI Call 586-997-7043 for latest updates.

The Guild board normally meets the first Thursday of the month at 7 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church, 1669 West Maple, Birmingham, MI. Any Guild member may attend Board meetings. General meetings will be canceled due to inclement weather whenever evening classes at Oakland Community College's Royal Oak campus are canceled, as announced by the local radio or television stations.
