Shipping & Insurance:
Effective January 1, 2018, the NFGS will use the USPS published rates. Insurance on the package will be the responsibility of the member if the cost of the item(s) is over the initial $50.00 allowable amount included in Priority Mail. This means that a member will pay postage in accordance with their zip code, the size, the weight, and the value of the boxed item(s).
Our office secretary will contact you regarding the actual charges. Sales tax will be added to orders shipped to Ohio residents.

Our Annual Membership Mice
For 2021, we offered two mice in Dandelion Yellow Carnival ($33) - a very bright opaque yellow, and Green Opalescent Iridized. The Green Opalescent Iridized mouse has sold out. We are substituting Ruby Slag Iridized ($33) or Orange Slice Satin ($25).
Primary Members who are current on their 2021 dues may order their choice of two of the mice, per household. All colors are quite limited.

Consignment Auction HELP!!!
We were left with one bidder ticket at the end of the NFGS Consignment Auction. We realize this was an oversight but it causes us to not balance. The item number was 21 and the bid was $85.00. Did you purchase the FAGCA Blue Opalescent Spiral Optic one-piece fairy light shown in the picture? If you got home and unpacked this item, please call the NFGS office (740-374-3345) or (740-568-8014) We'd like to close out the Auction completely in the black! Thanks much!

Introducing the NFGS 8343 Oval Vase! A Perfect Canvas for Design
By Sharon Fenner
This NFGS owned vase is 8-inches tall and about 5.5-inches wide, making it a perfect vase for decorating. Frances Burton created this awesome scene of a Bald Eagle in flight with mountains in the background and a stream below. On the back is a Bald Eagle perched in a tree. The attention to design is incredible.
We are accepting orders for this vase until September 29. The cost of the vase is $179, plus shipping charges.

Clarence Featured on the 2021 Convention Pin
The Stohlers began making plans for Clarence to be featured on the 2020 Convention pin, for our 30th Anniversary, after our 2019 convention. Then Covid happened and a Covid pin was created for 2020, and this pin was held for 2021. This pin is 1.75-inches in diameter, so larger than most. Each registered for convention member received a pin. Now they may be ordered for $8.00, S/H/Tax included.
