Upcoming Events
Guild Meetings
Our monthly meetings for the program year are from September to June with a summer break. We usually meet on the fourth Sunday of the month at 11:00am, though some dates are different to avoid scheduling conflicts. Meeting typically begin with announcements and updates from the officers, show and tell, lunch break, and then our scheduled program. The meetings are at the Finnish Hall (1970 Chestnut St, Berkeley, CA 94702), unless otherwise noted.
