I have been the chair of Pleiades now for several years,
that is, with the help from my side kick and friend, Cindy Calahan. I have seen the ups and downs of retail in
our small show. We had a great “run” in
our Bethesda Woman’s Club house location, but felt it was time to find a new
home. We are thrilled and honored to
move our show to the beautiful Strathmore
Mansion Rockville . Actually, we are partnering with
Strathmore! That’s huge for our little
group! And honestly, it says a lot about
the group and the quality of work shown throughout our 29 years. Now as we prepare for our 30th
anniversary and our big move, I stress over making this our best show
ever! It keeps me up at night….not
exactly what I want, but I take all this seriously. We have added extra guests to our lineup,
making it 30 women for our 30th year. I am excited about the growth and changes and
very hopeful for a great show. And why
shouldn’t it be great….we have so many really talented women joining us this
year. I recently finished working on our
website, making lots of changes and additions. I watched the intro fade from
one image to the next and loved each one of them. What a fabulous group we have! Now I have the
task of getting the word out. I’m
certainly not the most adept at the social media stuff, but I know it is the
way of the world. I will now need my
crash course on Facebook, and Pinterest.
I should probably talk with one of my nieces….for them it comes
naturally, or so it seems. I will learn,
as I did with the website, so “stay tuned”.
