**Trunk Show**

Hi All
Just a summary of our meeting tonight. We are hosting our first "Etsy Trunk Show" For those of you who don't know what this is...Its like a home party. Were going to be inviting people to this show and we will kind of introduce ourselves and show our items and we'll have drinks and snacks and it will be like a little party. We are really hoping that everyone that is interested will come to this show. Especially if you are interested in hosting or selling at one of these events. We want to start having more regular members in our group so we can all truly benefit and promote each other. These trunk shows have proven to be successful as told by forum posts on etsy. So let's all participate and make this a wonderful event!
Here's all the info:
Hosted by : Emily http://www.frolickingink.etsy.com
Place: 4009 E. 17th ST (eugene)
Time/Day: August 1st at 7 pm

You don't have to call to RSVP but it would be nice to let us know so we can prepare. We would really love to see all of you there so you can support those of us who are showing our items! And also so you can sign up to do the next show. We are going to be doing the show instead of our meeting.

hi everyone,
sorry to push the post about the meeting down but i need a little help from my groupies! i've been thinking about changing my business name for awhile because i'm not very excited about dandilion designs and i thought of it on the spur of the moment. sooo, i've finally narrowed down a huge list to a handful of names and posted them in a poll on my blog. it would help me out a lot, in deciding, if you all could go there and vote for the one your like best. after you vote comment in the related post there and i'll enter your name in a drawing to win a groovy lil' prize!

ONLY 1 DAY LEFT TO VOTE!

Next Meeting: Wednesday, July 18

6:30 pm

World Cafe

449 Blair Blvd, Eugene

It sounds like Wednesday is a better day for most people, so we've decided to change days. We will be meeting every other Wednesday from now on.

Come join the fun! We have some exciting things coming up. We're talking trunk shows! (home shows) Hopefully everyone will be interested in being involved. It's a great way to promote our shops and put money in our pockets! Our first show will be August 1st.

We also have other ideas in the works, so come join us and bring ideas. Also, bring promo items if you have them. Remember, the more you get your name out there, the more traffic you'll bring to your shop.

See you there!

UPDATE: wine and cheese craft meeting info

just in case you've missed the discussion in the comments, the meeting for this week has been switched to TUE. JULY 3rd at 6:30pm. this seems to work better for everyone in light of the 4th of july and work schedules (we can talk about changing the regular meeting day on tuesday).

so, remember to bring the following: wine or your drink of choice, an interesting cheese (and maybe some bread or something to go with it), a craft project, some promos and/or business cards to share, and ideas!

check out MapQuest for a map of where my house is. it is just past world cafe (about 1.5 blocks): continue on blair until the road forks at the Red Barn grocery store- take the right fork. w.3rd alley is immediately to your right at that stop sign. i would park on the main street and then walk into the alley since there's not much parking. my apartment building is on the left- the address is 1075, the building is painted green, and there is a fence and gate into the courtyard. you'll see me because my apartment is right inside the gate. feel free to call me (at 541-683-0690) if you get lost or anything.

looking forward to crafting with you all!
wren :)
