New Concepts and Considerations:

Updated: Jun 22, 2018

The following topics are presented here as discussion points. Input and constructive criticisms are requested.


If any interest develops from any of these topics, I will expand the discussion and provide a means of commenting on-line. If there is little or no apparent interest, I may continue to develop some concepts in isolation and provide occasional reports on any progress.


1. Newsletter/Website (already trying this one, would love input)

  • Newsletter available on website

  • Printable to pdf for emailing or printing for snail-mail

  • Web content viewed in separate sections (Educational, Show & Tell, etc.)

  • Contiguous discussion threads

  • Secure Location of confidential information (maps, addresses, phone numbers, etc.)

2. Convention Discussions (open on-going dialogue)

  • Potential methods of improving/continuing convention(s)

  • Votes on topics

  • Convention Updates

  • Photos of Auction Pieces

  • Photos of Raffle Prizes

3. Virtual Meeting Attendance

  • Attend via Skype or Face-time

  • Send photos of Topic Pieces

  • Vote on business decisions

  • More frequently achieve quorum

  • Less travel (cheaper/safer)

  • Get US Members to attend


4. Buy & Sell Section (this could help some members find pieces they are looking for or get the best price on a favourite piece)

  • Connecting buyers and sellers

  • Limit 1 Piece per member at any one time up to a total of 10 pieces total

  • All transactions between buyers and sellers only, CCGA is not involved or responsible


5. Outreach Campaign

  • Reaching out to other clubs around the globe including highlighting a different club timed with the release of each Newsletter

  • Approaching schools, libraries and social groups about Carnival Glass education

  • Send out invitations to local schools and clubs for our convention

  • Create a short You-Tube Video on Carnival Glass and our clubs (all of them!)

  • Approaching and inviting other collectors to contribute (how about those stretch glass people?)

  • Any other suggestions?
