(Actually, it will be in Live Oak, Texas, which is a small suburb of
San Antonio, in the extreme northeast part of town). The chairman of
Convention 2011 is Mike Morris (
Convention@NDGA.net) and he is actively
soliciting volunteers to help and is looking for collectors willing to
share their collections by providing a display.
Check back with this site as things progress to learn about the 2011 Convention. We will update as information begins to come in.
The 2010 Convention, held in Wichita, KS, was a resounding success. There were more displays at this Convention than ever before, and all who attended felt that this was the most beautiful Convention ever. You can see the photographs and read about the happenings at Wichita on our Convention 2010 Summary page. In fact, you can check out any of our past conventions and see photos of the displays on our Past Conventions page.
Our thanks go out to Linda Bredengerd, Sarah Van Dalsem and the Wichita Glass Gazers club for a wonderful and successful event.
The NDGA is a membership organization, with the officers and board
of directors consisting of volunteer members. Running the organization
requires an effort, but the rewards are worth it when one sees the
progress being made. The positions of Vice President, Treasurer
and four Director-at-Large were up for selection in this year's election.
Here are the results of this year's election:
| Vice President: | Linda Bredengerd |
| Treasurer: | Robert Henicksman |
| Director-at-Large: | |
| Danny Cornelius | Eric Fralick |
| Fred Meyer | Jack Peacock |
The NDGA has long relied on other sites to maintain a list of upcoming
Glass Shows, Conventions, etc. for collectors to find out about shows
in their area of the country. No more. From now on, the NDGA will
attempt to maintain an accurate calendar for everyone.
If you, or your organization, plan to hold a Glass Show or Convention, as long as it pertains to American-made glassware, we invite you to submit it for consideration to be listed in our calendar. We have provided a form to submit a show on this web site. The NDGA reserves the right to accept, modify or reject any submission for the calendar. We will review your entry and so long as it complies with our standards, it will appear in the calendar within a few days.
So, if you're looking for something to do in your area, check out our new calendar of Glass Shows and see if there's something coming up.
If you don't get your News & Views newsletter this month, it may be because your membership has expired.

But as of September 1, if the membership is not paid, a member is dropped from the rolls.
CLUB MEMBERS ... For those members of Clubs which are listed on the web site, please check to see that the information for your club is accurate. If any changes are needed, please email the NDGA Webmaster. Thank you.
