Any young person (student through college-age) that has a love for sewing and would like to come and model or display what they have sewn, they may attend at no charge.  Their brunch will be paid for by the ASG Chapter Advisory Board. 

Cost of the brunch and show is $25 for members and $30 for non-members.  Kids 4-10 are $10 and under age 4 are free.  Anyone attending the fashion show, except for students presenting their own creations, will need to pay for the brunch.

The American Sewing Guild is online at more than just www.asg.org.  You can also find them on Myspace and Facebook.  The link to Myspace is included, but you do need to register (it's free) at Facebook to look for other members.  You can also look on Youtube for videos; some of the chapters have videos of meetings and of techniques.
 
A place that's become one of my favorites is Instructables (www.instructables.com) for intructions on, well, nearly everything.  You can find instructions on sewing techniques, knot tying, and making duct tape shoes, among many, many other subjects.       http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=353782263
