The Studio Chapter

2017 Meeting & Activity Calendar

It's Here! – following is the schedule of meetings and activities for 2017. You will notice this year we are not sticking to a specific schedule to allow better flexibility for our various meetings and activities. Many of the meetings and activities are on Saturdays and times may vary as noted. Dates as noted are firm as of today so please mark your calendars so you don't miss out on the fun. If you are not receiving our emails please email your name and email to info@thestudiochapter.org and we'll add you to our email list. This way you'll get the most up to date information so you won't miss out on the fun.

For the ‘off months’ this year we are doing what we’ll call ‘Studio Chapter Meet-Ups!’. Generally these will be casual and unstructured with no set agenda other than a set time to ‘meet-up’. We have always considered our chapter a group of friends--old and new--and hope these will allow those who want to a chance to get together during the non-meeting months.
