Lanyards
If you are planning to make lanyards that will be used for name badges, please contact Robyn Willets Jackson at goldenrabbitkumihimo@gmail.com (not co-chair Robyn Spady)   By September 2015, we have made 90 lanyards so we are half way there.   Some more help is required to ensure we have a lanyard for everyone.
