Our Annual Membership Mice
By Sharon Fenner
For 2021, we are excited to offer two mice in colors sure to stand out in your collection. First is Dandelion Yellow Carnival - a very bright opaque yellow. The Mosser Company had a special request for this color and we were fortunate to be able to have some mice made. It's eye-catching!
We have had mice made in several different opaque greens and in Emerald Green, but never in a translucent green with opalescence and iridization. Cute as can be, this little mouse will be a welcome addition to your membership mouse collection.
Primary Members who are current on their 2021 dues may order one of each color, per household, for $33 each. Both colors are quite limited.
We still have a limited amount of this 2020 mouse available. The lily is the flower that represents the NFGS 30th anniversary. Susan Bryan has adorned our Ruby Red mouse with a beautiful white lily. It can be yours for $60.

The Birth of a Mouse
By Joyce Stein
The author shares with NFGS members how our Membership mouse came to be. From sharing their idea with the Fentons, to working with Jon Saffel to create the drawing, then the plaster figure.
In 2002, the mouse was made in Cobalt Blue. The Membership mouse was included in a Premium Membership, and a mouse in a different color was sent to the current Premium members automatically each year. Premium memberships have since been discontinued.
