Don’t forget to tune into our next CSGA Member meeting this coming Sunday, March 22nd beginning at 3:00pm EDT.  We will be viewing some archival recorded presentations on Steuben Glass that Tom Dimitroff gave a number of years ago.  We’ll follow that with “Show and Tell,” a chance for our members to share a piece from their collection.  And as always, this meeting is a chance to catch up with other CSGA members and enjoy talking about glass together!

To facilitate the “Show and Tell” and ensure that we can all get a clear view of your beautiful glass, please email a photo of your piece to gazette@steubenglass.org in advance of the meeting.  We’ll compile the images and display them during the Zoom call. That way you won’t have to worry about holding up the item and trying to get your camera to focus on it — you can just share your story.

Details on how to join the meeting were emailed to members last Thursday.  Please email our CSGA Secretary Sue Maynard at secretary@steubenglass.org if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you there!
