The Rocky Mountain Region of the EGA offers 2 Group Correspondence Courses
per year for members of the Rocky Mountain Region. These Correspondence Courses are sponsored by region for region
members. The region board chooses from the current Group Correspondence Courses offered by National. The Region
pays part of the costs for the students. Currently, the group is stitching Swiss Sampler by
Ilse Altherr. The finished pieces by the registered students are due to the Education Chair On January 3,
2008 so they can be sent to Ilse for critique.
The next Correspondence Course to be offered by The Rocky Mountain Region
will be The Handy Huswif by Cathy Trostmann. Registration for this class opens Sept 1, 2007 and all registration
forms and registration fees must be in Marthann Simpson's hand by November 1, 2007. Postmarks do not count. The
fee for the class is $35.00. The student is also responsible for her own supplies and postage to ship the finished
piece to the education chair so the pieces can be sent for critique by the teacher. A detailed description
of the class is on page 38 of The 2007-2008 Education Catalog. Students will receive their texts about January
2, 2008, and will be given approximately six months to stitch the piece before shipping for critique.
