Guild Member Only Activities
~ Meetings ~
Meetings are held on the 4th Thursday of each month from January through October (we take a break in November and December and sometimes the June meeting is the 3rd Thursday due to the Lompoc Flower Festival). Guests are always welcome. First-time visitors are free and admission for non-members that come back is $3.00.
We have a great time at our meetings. The regular meetings generally include a guest speaker or special event, show and tell, door prize and fabric bonanza drawings, and other fun. See the calendar for details.
Meetings take place in Lompoc at the Dick DeWees Community & Senior Center at 1120 W Ocean Avenue in Lompoc, CA . Social time and snacks begin at 6:30pm. Programs and Guild business begin at 7:00pm.
