About the North Shore Basket Guild

The North Shore Basket Guild was established in May of 1999. The Guild meets the second Saturday of each month (except June, July and August) at Holy Cross Lutheran Church, 410 North Arlington Avenue, Duluth, MN, from 10:00 - 2:00.

Dues are $15 a year and are payable in October of each year. A non-member may attend one class without paying dues, however paid members are given preference if there is a class limit. Membership & Class Registration Policy

A note of thanks:

This season, at our December get together we had decided to try something a little different. In the past, we had done a voluntary basket exchange. Interest seemed to be dwindling. This year we asked for donations to be made at our pizza party in support of the Northern Harvest Food Bank. All together, we collected $275.00 as well as some food contributions! Way to go Guild members!!!

We promptly received a lovely letter back: "Thousands of people are struggling in our region, but you just helped put meals back on their tables! Thank you for your generous contribution to our food bank. Your contribution will put meals on the table for many of our in-need Northland neighbors not only at the holiday season but all year long. Thank you for joining others in our region, who despite the economic uncertainty, are giving of themselves to others. We thank you for your generous gift and we wish a wonderful new year! Thank you all! Your gifts will feed many!"

Thank you to all who were able to participate. It was a great day!

Debbie Johnson, Treasurer

President's Message

Hi Ladies,

Well, here we are about to start the last quarter of our season of basket weaving. Spring is right around the corner and what a welcome that will be! This time of year is always a time of getting through winter and looking forward to green once again. We have some wonderful class options coming up in the next three months. Please consider teaching a class in the fall, if any of you are interested in teaching. So, take a look at our offerings and get signed up for some weaving fun and fellowship! You might find some great ideas to do over the summer also.
