For the youngsters and their families, September is all about getting ready for a new school year. For people considering joining The Knitting Guild of Greater Buffalo, September is all about membership dues. Yes, we would like payment IN September.
Agenda for September Program
The Knitting Guild of Greater Buffalo is off to a roaring start with its first meeting at the exciting Hyatt Place location! We not only have a new home, we have an updated attitude regarding everything cyberspace! Imagine a website that is filled with links to resources we will need throughout this Guild season! Well, we have that! We have open communication with our blog and you can find us on a variety of social media sites. We have a system for weekly updates that will keep us informed with the present as well as the future.
We are now able to reflect and say, “WOW! We had a BUSY summer!” And then we realize with a team of hard workers who are willing and able, it makes it possible for these things to happen.
A Virtual Smorgasbord
We are on a LOT of sites now, social media and otherwise. We have made it as easy as possible for you to find us. There are many choices in finding our latest updates. This post is to clarify a thing or two and our rationale as to why we have taken the time this summer to develop our online presence!

What does Chautauqua Institute and The Buffalo Knitting Guild have in common?
When our website went ‘public’, there was a LOT to notice. You likely browsed our site, noticed its organizational format, and taught yourself how to navigate with the tabs. You may have enjoyed looking at the featured images (photos at the top of each page) and tried to find yourself. Maybe, you enjoyed the TABS on reflection, the Pages we call Newsletters, Gallery, Reviews, and Who’s Who (which is currently a WIP).
