BEAD LEAGUE

In the movie, "The Graduate," Benjamin Braddock was given some advice: "Just one word plastics."

Come to the next WNEBL meeting on Oct. 18 and learn how "retro" plastic has become the newest fad, and make a piece of jewelry during our interactive project! In addition, members of WNEBL will take part in a bead swap. Everyone is encouraged to bring beads to exchange with their bead colleagues.

The meeting is free to WNEBL members and non-members are welcome to see what this organization is all about with a $5 meeting fee. The meeting will start at 5 p.m., and will take place at Colorful Creations Bead Company, 37 Harkness Ave., East Longmeadow.
