Our San Jose membership is still growing and that means more of you are interested in meeting other sewing friends and getting back
to the hobby we all love! Be sure to talk about our group wherever you are around sewing people, especially those new to this creative
outlet! Many of our new members tell us that if they had only known that ASG had a group like this (or that ASG was even around) they
would have joined sooner. Many of them have been looking for “people like
themselves” who love to sew.
We currently have 160 members
with 6 new members joining us since last quarter. Welcome!

share knowledge and work on common goals and also share frustrations. You can join to attend the quarterly chapter meetings
where community service projects are worked on; or prominent guest speakers join us to lead us on new sewing adventures.
We also have our annual “sewathon” long weekend at Asilomar in February. Membership is at the national level, so

What’s the benefit to me? Besides the camaraderie of wonderful, dynamic and energetic people who love creating with fabrics, thread, paint, beads and new items all the time, you get 10% off any and all purchases at JoAnn’s stores nationwide. There is a dynamic list on the www.asg.org website of other discounts. Local stores also give discounts too.
