Dear SWIFT MEMBERS:
I have contacted all on our email list to ask if they would support us having a booth this year. Most did not reply but the ones who did were not ready yet to meet the public. It is with regret that this decision had to be made. I hope and pray that we will get to share our beloved crafts next year.
Feel free to fill out our form and I will get back with you. I am planning to set up a ZOOM or GMAIL visual meeting within the next month. So please check your email and/or SWIFT website. Thank you ALL and God bless.
