OPQG Programs

Monthly speakers & topics

Programs

All programs are conducted at our monthly day and night meetings. In keeping with our guild’s mission statement, we strive to offer programs that feature local and national guest speakers. Our specialty groups within the guild offer interesting programs, too.  Whenever possible, corresponding workshops are held on the Wednesday following the monthly meeting. We are currently booking our future speakers and are looking forward to upcoming exciting and interesting programs.

All monthly programs are free to OPQG members.

All professionally taught workshops require a fee to be paid by both members and nonmembers. Participation fees vary by the speaker; some workshops also require the purchase of a pattern or other supplies (as specified by the teacher). If you are interested in a specific teacher,  please go to Programs-Upcoming in the website’s NEWS section of the website.

Please contact Kathleen Day, OPQG program chair for information about monthly programs or workshops.
