Wasatch Chapter
Thu, Oct 30, 2025 8:15 PM

Here’s the Wasatch Chapter news. Let me know if you need something different, or if you need it in a different format.

The Wasatch Chapter of the Guild of Book Workers was officially formed in July 2025, with Christopher McAfee as Chair, Trisha and Brandon Weekes as Events and Education Co-Chairs, and Jim Frazer as Treasurer. In September, the chapter joined a booth at the Springville Arts Festival to share information and enthusiasm for the book arts. The chapter currently has nine members and is planning a membership drive/social gathering for Utah book workers.

Do you have any leeway for Chapter news? I haven’t been well, but I should
be able to get Potomac Chapter news to you tomorrow. Thanks!

Hi Bridget,

Are you able to generate a QR code that would link to the donation page on
the GBW website and print that in the newsletter? If so, I'd like to
include some language to encourage members to think about making a
charitable gift on Giving Tuesday or as part of their end of year
charitable giving. I can get you the text of that tomorrow if that will
work.

Thanks,
Todd
