  • Encourage those people new to bead collecting to learn about the fascinating "World of Beads".
  • Network with other bead enthusiasts.
  • Promote historical research into beads and beadwork.
Meetings: 2nd Sunday every month except January

Where: Carnegie Library, 7 Shepparson Avenue, Carnegie - Boyd room
