TIME TO RENEW YOUR NFGS MEMBERSHIP FOR 2020  NFGS Throwback...                        Our Annual Membership Mice By Sharon Fenner We'd like you to meet our membership mice for 2020!  It is rare that we hand-paint our membership mice; only happened in 2009, and again in 2010 which was our 20th year.  The lily is the flower that represents the 30th anniversary.  Susan Bryan has adorned our Ruby Red mouse with a beautiful white lily.  It can be yours for $60.  Our Teal mouse has a balloon bouquet; one balloon is especially for the 30th year.  Truda Mendenhall created this little cutie.  You can add this to your collection for $50. They are available to all NFGS members who are current in their 2020 dues.  They are limited to one of each per Primary member/household for the 2020 membership year.       Celebrating our 30th Year!!! 1990 - 2020

Something to Brighten Your Holidays By Sharon Fenner The 5119 Crouching Kitten was made at the Mosser Glass Company using the NFGS owned mould.  We decided to enlist talented former Fenton Designer CC Hardman to adorn it with the 'String of Lights', a design she created for the Fenton Gift Shop.  If you were an attendee of the VIP events you may have a collection of this design. It would be especially cute with the playful puppy!       For your holiday decorating or to add to your collection of 'Patches' mice, we have 'Patches' mouse #7 in Ruby/Red Satin adorned with holiday prints.  Former Fenton Designer Frances Burton worked her magic on this little cutie.  We will beging taking orders on each of these items on October 29.  They are limited to one per household until November 19, 2019.    'Patches' # 7 Visitors  By Millie Coty They visited the office on Septermber 23rd, and plan to attend the 30th NFGS Convention, July 25 - 27, as First Timer's!
