December 22, 2009 - Did you decide to run?

We're looking for a few good candidates ...

The NDGA is a membership organization, with the officers and board of directors consisting of volunteer members. Running the organization requires an effort, but the rewards are worth it when one sees the progress being made. With the positions of Vice President, Treasurer and four Director-at-Large available for this year's election, would you volunteer to run for one of these offices and contribute to the success of the NDGA as an organization? If you would serve your fellow members, contact Carolyn Robinson, or one of the current board members. Please - the NDGA needs YOU and your ideas to make it a continuing success.

September 1, 2009 - Membership Renewals

If you don't get your News & Views newsletter this month, it may be because your membership has expired. All NDGA memberships expire on June 30, and for those folks who are a little forgetful, there's a grace period for renewal. But as of September 1, if the membership is not paid, a member is dropped from the rolls.

CLUB MEMBERS ... For those members of Clubs which are listed on the web site, please check to see that the information for your club is accurate. If any changes are needed, please email the NDGA Webmaster. Thank you.

July 12, 2009 - Danbury Convention was memorable.

Dealers have packed up and moved out. The Convention was a success, with all visitors reporting that the displays were fabulous and the amount and quality of glass available for sale was sensational. We owe our thanks to Rosemary Trietsch and her crew for a job well done !! Details will follow and be posted on the "Past Conventions" page, once the webmaster makes it back home. Stay tuned. Meanwhile, enjoy the photos of the displays from the 2009 Convention on the Convention 2009 page.

September 6, 2008 - Updates to the Library Collection

We have new listings for the National Collection Library hot off the presses. The Library Collection is quite substantial and continues to grow thanks to member donations. Check it out on our Library Collection page. Thanks to Pam Meyer for all her work on cataloging the items. If you have any glass-related books, pamphlets, newsletters, magazines or catalogs that you no longer need, consider donating them to the National Library Collection.

April 17, 2008 - A Whole new look for the NDGA web site.

Your webmaster has been busy making major changes to the "look and feel" of the NDGA web site. We think you will like the change. Whenever a massive change like this is done, there will inevitably be a few "glitches." We ask that if/when you run into one, please send an email to the webmaster@ndga.net and let him know the page (url) that caused the problem, and the nature of the problem. Let the webmaster know, too, if you liked or didn't like the changes.

You'll also find a few new articles posted. If you are preparing a program for your club meeting, check out the articles on this site (over 300 of them), in three different areas: "Articles", "News & Views" and "Rainbow Review/Glass Review." Look around, and you'll probably learn something new.
