Hand Tools & Carving Meeting
October 12 in Amherst, NH
Bench Hooks & Shooting Boards
Part of “BuildYour Own Hand Tool Cabinet Series”
Attend one or all of this Hand Tool Cabinet series. Each session features skills worth knowing on their own, but also useful toward building your own hand tool cabinet.
Also for spouses and friends...
Marie Seroskie will give a presentation on “They’re Not My Grandma's Quilts Anymore”. The traditional and not so traditional forms of quilting will be explored. Questions welcome.
This is for anyone who would like to accompany their spouse/friend to the HTC meeting on October 12 in Jim Seroskie’s shop. The lecture will take place in Marie's studio which can accommodate 20 people…and yes, you can touch the quilts!

New Membership Service Coming
The Guild has been using an online service for membership and events since January, 2010. This was a big step for the Guild at the time. It allowed us to take online payments, maintain online membership services and have an online event calendar. This first service was
Wild Apricot.
However, for a large number of technical reasons, we moved to another service (
iMIS) in June, 2017. But, since then we have experienced significant reliability and performance problems plus a backend complexity and a single admin license limitation which combined has made a long term commitment impossible.
In November, 2018, the Steering Committee committed to an upgrade to both the public website and the membership service. The public site at
gnhw.org upgrade was completed in May of this year.
The new selected membership service is
NeonCRM. Unlike Wild Apricot and iMIS,
the Neon service will be reside on the gnhw.org public site—not a separate site. It will allow for multiple administrators and backup personnel. Work on configuring this new system began in June of this year.
My experience with NeonCRM has been a positive one. System performance and reliability has been good. No system is perfect and NeonCRM is no exception. But the company is investing in the platform and adding or upgrading features each month.
The bottom line is that I think you will see a simpler, more user friendly system which we can use for the long run.
The plan is for the current membership site to be frozen the last week of November. We should be up and running with the new integrated NeonCRM service by mid-December.
There will be more about this in November.
