Dear Moss Society Members,
Welcome! This is the fifth newsletter of 2020.
Pat Moss News
Pat concluded her abbreviated show schedule with a final appearance at the P Buckley Moss Gallery of Blacksburg on Saturday, December 19th and Sunday the 20th. The show was a combined virtual/personal appearance show. The gallery welcomed Radford native Wendy Nester, who will serve as the new store manager. She is taking the place of Pat’s daughter Becky who is returning to her home in Italy. Wendy brings an extensive background of art with her, having spent time as a senior sales associate at nationally renowned galleries in Santa Fe, NM and Lahaina, Maui.
Moss Society News
We’re still here! That is exciting in itself. All of us are looking forward to a time when we can safely gather and resume chapter meetings. We have news on the bead production to share with you. Our jeweler is open and working to fulfill orders.
For 2019 Premier members:
There are a few members who are still awaiting the bead. The good news is that they are being made again, but we do not have an arrival date. If you choose not to wait for your bead, refunds for the bead part of the membership are available. Please contact the Society office at society@pbuckleymoss.com or 804-725-7378.
For 2019 Choice members:
There are a few unfulfilled bead memberships. These beads are being made, but we do not have an arrival date. If you choose to not wait for your bead, a refund may be requested. However, to maintain your membership in the Moss Society, your membership will need to be changed to the Classic level and the refund would then be the difference between the two levels. For information and questions, please contact the Society office at society@pbuckleymoss.com, or 804-725-7378.
For 2020 Premier and Choice members:
Our jeweler was closed for an extended period of time, lost their designer and did not finish our bead for 2020. At this time, no bead is being offered. The Choice and Premier Membership levels have been temporarily suspended. We are in the process of refunding the difference of these memberships. For 2020, everyone will be renewed at the Classic level. We encourage you to be patient as we work through this bump in the road. Our efforts are continuing to locate and engage another jeweler that is capable of producing the high quality and beautiful beads that we have enjoyed. For information and questions, please contact the Society office at society@pbuckleymoss.com, or 804-725-7378.
For 2021 Premier and Choice members:
Looking ahead to the New Year, we will continue to renew all members at the Classic level. We are committed to resolving the bead supply issue and hope to reinstate the Premier and Choice level memberships as soon as feasible.
