2020

Welcome to 2020!

A New Year and new projects-what do you have planned?

Maybe you have worked on your Artisan and your projects are ready to submit.

Maybe you are working on your Artisan projects and planning to submit.

Maybe you are thinking ahead and have Easter or other special occasions to plan to stitch for.

Maybe you are just stitching because you can and love it.

Whatever the reason I hope you have remembered to renew your SAGA membership!

SAGA membership runs from January 1 to December 31 each year. If you don’t renew soon you will miss out on receiving the next issue of SAGANews. SAGANews is only mailed to members on the mailing list at the time it is pulled.

So head on over to the SAGA website (www.smocking.org) and sign into the Members Only area. You will see if you have renewed and if  you have not you can just follow the links to do so. The best method of renewal is to use PayPal which you can do even without a PayPal account.

I will leave you with a photo of a holiday window at Bergdorf Goodman’s on Fifth Avenue in New York. Can you spot several sewing items? I found at least five items.

Membership Renewal Time

It is time to renew your SAGA membership. 

It is due before the end of December, as you don't want to miss out on any issue of SAGANews or all the other things SAGA has to offer, do you?

You can renew by signing into your SAGA page on the SAGA website.  www.smocking.org 

You can use PayPal and it will automatically update your information so SAGA has your correct mailing address and email.

You don't need a PayPal account to use PayPal to pay for your dues.

Looking forward to another great year of SAGA with you all as members!

Thank you!

Now is the time to renew your membership to SAGA.

SAGA Membership Renewal Information

All memberships (except lifetime) expire on December 31. Improvements have been made to the renewal process that should make it easier for member renewal. If you renew on-line at www.smocking.org through PayPal (you do not need a PayPal account), your membership will be updated in the database immediately! This is the fastest, most efficient way to renew. Don't miss out on SAGANews by renewing late!

Other options for renewing are to download the membership form and mailing it to the SAGA Post Office Box. 

                                        The Smocking Arts Guild of America

                                                          3712 Ringgold Rd #309

                                                           Chattanooga TN  37412

You can also renew in a group with your chapter, by sending one check.  If you choose this option, be sure to include everyone's name and membership number with the renewal information. Be aware that this option will take longer to process as all mail renewals will be processed by hand.

Early Membership Renewal Incentive

All members who are paid through 2019 either through PayPal on

November 30, or postmarked by the USPS by November 30 will be entered into one of five regional drawings for enrollment into a SAGA Correspondence Course during 2019.
