Dear Ladies of The Bead Society:

     This is just a note to tell you how happy I am that I joined the Bead Society and how much I have enjoyed my experiences with you.

I came across you quite by chance. I was having a drink in the lounge of the BHCC with my husband on an evening you were having a meeting to discuss the various beads and stones colorfully laid out on a long table last summer. I wanted to join in there and then but felt my husband would not be so inclined so I got your name and website and came with a friend to your next meeting at Lois Rose's home nearby.

    After a couple of meetings I became a member and went on your weekend to Arizona in January with the group.  I learned how to make different knots and macramé from Jamey and have already restrung one necklace and made two new ones and have bought more beads to make more pieces. I found the weekend in addition to being fun, very informative, educational and the museum was quite incredible. I did not know that such a museum even existed. I was fascinated by its depth and quantity of so many different beads from all over.  I only wished that I could have spent more time there in the Museum but hope to go back at a future date.

     I just wanted you to know that I am glad that I found you and have thoroughly enjoyed the interesting meetings and outings that you arrange.
