Save Time and Maximize Convenience |
|
This year, SEFAA transitioned to a new database system called Neon CRM. There are many benefits to the change, but the one that is most useful to you is that you can create a personal account in the system. With just a login name and password, you can update your contact information, renew/purchase a membership, register for a class or event, make a donation, review your past transactions, volunteer, and more – all at your convenience. Logging in will save you time because you won’t have to re-enter basic information and you can pay once for multiple items (for example, register for a class and renew your membership) rather than making two or more separate purchases. You’ll also be able to research your transaction history and check on your membership status at any time.
Ready to create an account? Great! Just click here and you’ll be done before you can finish reading the end of this sentence. If you need help or have questions, this FAQ document will walk you through the process of registering, what you’ll see once you log in, and what you can do while you are logged in.

Sales to Continue!
The Pop Up Shop was a roaring success - great shopping and even better bargains! It was so much fun, we'll continue to sell donated items in several different ways.
- Listing items on our website store and on our eBay page.
- Possibly setting up a small, permanent shop in the SEFAA Center, available by appointment until we reopen.
- Featuring a different item each week on our Facebook Page. This week it's the Artisat Loom shown below. It has a 36" weaving width and folds up compactly for storage/transport. Because it needs a thorough cleaning and a few inexpensive replacement parts, the price is a low, low, low $300. Email if you are interested!
|
To keep this going, we'll continue to accept donations of textile-related materials and equipment. Just email Gale to coordinate delivery if you downsize your stash.
We are also looking for an online sales coordinator. If you enjoy listing and/or shipping items, let's talk!

Pandemic Banner Project: The current issue of the Chamblee Signal has a nice article about our ongoing memorial for COVID-19 victims. Also, email if you are intersted in creating a tribute but need to be matched with someone to memorialize.
Chamblee Public Art Project: Want to help yarn bomb part of the chain link fence at the Chamblee Marta station this spring? All volunteers and ideas welcome! Just email to join the team!

Surveys: We'll be sending out a short online survey to our current members this month in order to better serve you during the pandemic and beyond.
