Below are the suggestions we have received so far on what else to include in the guild directory for your further comments (quick responses as we are working on the directory currently). We will see what we can fit, trying to keep the whole thing mailable with one stamp. (I left a few suggestions out because they were listing suggestions that we were already going to include anyway, so if you don't see your suggestion below, that is probably why.)

ALSO, GUILD MEMBERS WITH ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION REQUESTED BELOW, PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT IS THE CORRECT VERSION OF THE INFORMATION GUILD MEMBERS ARE REQUESTING. THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY INFO THAT WE HAVE AND WE DO WANT TO GET IT RIGHT IN THE DIRECTORY. THANKS.

COMMENTS:

I would really like to know who has performances to offer and whether they offer shows for birthdayparties/libary because I get lots of calls and recommend the usual suspects. Wish we could have a showcase so I would know what I was recommending. I rarely recommend shows sight unseen.

I would like to know who gives workshops, where people were trained or
"interned", see pictures of their puppets and know where they live.

I would love to have info on how to use the guild's library. I think that would be useful, and have it include how to borrow books by mail (for folks that are members but who don't attend any meetings but still want to belong to the guild).

I do like the suggestions about other facets of the guild in directory. You might put in newsletter deadline too, subject to calenderical changes of course.

Yes, I think info on the guild, officers, how to contact... what
bennies we have, maybe an application for people to copy themselves and
pass on to friends (P of A does this I think in their membership
books)... also library and who and how to use it is good.... I think
in this day and age, publicizing benefits of membership might be good,
since I'm sure many of us don't know all of them. (Include discounts
to selected performances).

If the person has a puppet-related web site, it would also be very
useful to list the web address.
