8 • THE ARTISAN FALL 2024 GUILD NEWS who generously donated their time), and was a great success. I decided to raffle one of my father's paintings to generate additional income, and it seemed a very popular idea. Again, the monies from the tables were donated to the MPEF. Turning it up: When it became apparent the strikes weren't going to end anytime soon, Amy and I decided to have another fair. At this point, vendors were contacting us and asking for spaces, and the buzz was such that we didn't have to do as much legwork to find people to sell. In October of 2023, we had another sale, and my husband made the suggestion that we increase the amount of raffle items to try and generate more income and more foot traffic. Luckily, I work on shows with actors who do a lot of conventions and are happy to sign items for a good cause, so I concentrated on getting some swag from my Star Wars community. We also reached out to our vendors and asked for donations of items or gi certificates. Brendan Wayne (who suit performs e Mandalorian) also offered to come sign autographs FOR FREE at the event to anyone who could show that they had made a purchase! ese 2024 August 25 General Membership Meeting 2:00-4:00 PM September 2 Labor Day (Monday) - Offices Closed September 8 Board of Trustees Meeting 10:00 AM September 9 Executive Board Meeting 7:30 PM October 6 Board of Trustees Meeting 10:00 AM October 7 Executive Board Meeting 7:30 PM October 31 Halloween November 3 Board of Trustees Meeting 10:00 AM November 4 Executive Board Meeting 7:30 PM November 17 General Membership Meeting 2:00-4:00 PM November 27 Day Before Thanksgiving (Wednesday) Close Early November 28-29 Thanksgiving Offices Closed December 8 Board of Trustees Meeting 10:00 AM December 9 Executive Board Meeting 7:30 PM December 24 Christmas Eve (Tuesday) Close Early 2:00 PM December 25 Christmas Day (Wednesday) Offices Closed December 31 New Year's Eve (Tuesday) Close Early 2:00 PM Dates are subject to change.

CALENDAR OF EVENTS additions, plus a hair braider, face painter, skateboarding Mandalorian, Stormtroopers and various other cosplayers, and even a live musician made the event a truly one- of-a-kind experience! It was our most successful sale, and we decided to donate the profits from the tables and raffle to Member2Member, which benefits those in Local 706 who might be having trouble paying their dues during the strikes. Since post-strikes, it seems that very few people are still back to work, another fair was held June 9, 2024, with almost 50 vendors selling everything from baked goods to vintage items!! To date, we have donated over $1,500 to the MPEF and $6,000 to Member2Member. We couldn't have done all of this without the amazing volunteers who came out to help! Amy and I started this ourselves but it takes a village to keep it going. A sixth event is planned for October with the addition of make-up & hair styling opportunities being offered for patrons attending Halloween parties. Keep an eye out for emails from Local 706 announcing table sales. Follow @crayglamsquad on IG or Facebook and check out the vendors on social media to purchase items!
