WCKG Disbanding Home

The Guild will be disbanding as of December 31, 2019

While members have expressed interest in the Treasurer, Newsletter and Webmaster positions, without a President it is impossible for just a few members to run the Guild without leadership.

Please check your November newsletter for the latest information or read the synopsis of the fate of the guild in the blog posting here.

According to the by-laws, the dissolution of the Guild requires that once all outstanding bills have been paid the remaining monies be distributed to charity. The newsletter contains a link to a survey where we are asking current members to select their top 3 choices of charities. We have included groups the Guild currently works with, but feel free to suggest another organization. The results of this survey will be shared at the December meeting.

Survey Results as of Nov 16

The survey will be open until December 8, 2019

We encourage everyone to attend our November and December meetings to share contact info so that you can keep in touch with your friends from the guild. So many wonderful friendships have been built through the guild over the years and are sure to continue for a long time to come!
