- Neighborhood meetings are great places to meet with new and old friends. All neighborhood groups are open to any member and guests. Guests may attend two meetings before joining the Guild. Bring and share your sewing projects. Ask for help with problems you may be having.
- Your attendance at programs sponsored by the American Sewing Guild may be digitally recorded through photographs and/or video recordings. These images may be used on our website or in our newsletters. If you do not wish your image to be published, please notify the photographer or Group Leader.
- Please call first when attending at private homes. Occasionally, it’s necessary for programs to change after the newsletter is printed.

Several members have inquired about ordering ASG name badges. The badges can be ordered from Dell Awards Company in California. The badges will have the ASG Logo, the Chapter’s name and your name. A badge with a pin on the back is $9 and with a magnet $11 plus shipping. Each Neighborhood Group Leader has the details for ordering the badges.
Hi,
When the sewing guild starts up again, I would like to join.
Stay safe!!
Thanks!

Many of the neighborhood groups are having zoom meetings during the pandemic if you’re interested. I was just about to update that info on the website. We’d love to have you! Thanks so much! Rebecca
Hello. I live in Fort Pierce, Fl. Wondering if there is a group in my area that I could join.
Hi Sandra! Welcome! There is a group that meets in Port St. Lucie and meets on Saturdays at Laura’s Sewing and Quilt which would probably be the closest to you. Check out our neighborhood group page https://asgfl.org/neighborhood-groups/ to see other groups in the surrounding area. Prospective members can attend any local group meetings twice before joining. Hope to see you soon! Becky
