Guilt Trip

On the theme of “vitality” within the Carder Steuben Club —

I am always pleased to renew my membership in the CSC each year. I appreciate the resources it offers that give me opportunities to learn, as well as the new “glass friends” I’ve made through CSC. Like many of the “glass friends” I’ve made over the years, some I’ve never met face to face, but I consider them friends nonetheless.

Let’s also remember that vitality of our group depends not just on renewing our memberships, but also telling others about the CSC. Sharing our enthusiasm for this beautiful glass helps ensure that there will be people in line behind us who will want to own the pieces we’ve spent so much time and money finding, researching, displaying, and safeguarding.

I’d like to hear how my fellow members personally spread the word about Carder Steuben glass, and our organization.
