NCFG Updates and Events
Hello all,
I appreciate the opportunity to serve another term as an officer for the Guild and looking forward to what I can do for our membership as vice-president. This email has some updates on T-shirts and other guild items, the picnic details, and brief meet updates.
As Aaron mentioned in his last email, the Guild had some issues with the PayPal account and website. We have since created a new website that can be accessed at northcarolinafalconersguild.org or ncfg.squarespace.com. The PayPal account is not fully recovered yet, but you will be able to pay dues on the site when corrected.
We ask that you please complete our membership form, whether you are current or need to join/renew so that we can re-establish our membership database with everyone's current information. As Aaron also mentioned, the Guild will be returning to the calendar-year dues structure as outlined in the Guild bylaws. The online membership form can be accessed HERE.
35th Anniversary
This year is particularly noteworthy as it marks the 35th anniversary of the guild, founded in the summer of 1987. In celebration, the Guild has commissioned an art piece by Lindsay Adams, which will be available on a variety of shirts, decals, and many other items HERE. The officers have chosen to use Teespring as the site handles orders, payments, printing, and shipping, reducing the logistics required by the officers, with the guild receiving a small profit on each item sold. We wanted to keep prices as low as possible - for example, the Guild will receive $1-3 per shirt. This fundraiser will help the Guild recover the cost ($160) for both the line art and full-color pieces. We will also be printing a small number of shirts to have on hand for the Denton meet.
NCFG Fall Picnic
The Guild will be hosting this year's fall picnic at Sloan Park at the Fleming-Miller shelter on September 10th from 11:00-3:00. We will be catering BBQ, with a side item sign-up on the RSVP form. Please consider bringing a bird for the weathering yard! There will be extra perches and bath pans if needed.
Please RSVP by August 27th so that the catering order may be placed. The RSVP and sign-up for side items is HERE.

Tentative Meet Information
The Guild will host the Denton meet at Camp Walter Johnson on the weekend of January 14-15. We expect to host the Rockingham County meet sometime in February, with more details on both as they become available.
That's it for updates and events. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and hope to see you all at the picnic.
Thank you,
Seana Manire
