- 25th Anniversary Event
- Harry Montoro has volunteered to be a part of this event’s planning committee.
- There was a good amount of brainstorming around the direction of the event. The range of ideas fell into the following categories:
- Private event being more of a party for the members.
- Public event focused on celebrating the Guild’s 25 years of operation and creating public interest. An extreme example of this would be a Guild beer festival.
- Somewhere in the middle of the two.
