Our Historian Volunteer position (now vacant) manages our archived photos on our SGCASG Smug Mug site. Meanwhile our Members can upload their own photos and videos to the 2024 Chapter Gallery or any other Gallery of their choosing. 

(Please contact us if you can volunteer as our Historian.)

 

Galleries are online photo albums viewable by the public. Each Gallery represents a specific time, event, meeting or topic.

The General Gallery contains photos taken in a specific year. 

Event Galleries contain photos taken at a specific Event such as Spring Fling, Sewing Retreat or Annual Meeting. 

NG/SIG Galleries contain photos of a specific NG/SIG's programs, Sew N Tell's, parties, etc.

Member Contribution Galleries consist of photos that a member wants to share. Any member can have their own Gallery (one per member). The only requirement is that it must pertain to needle work or a needle related activity. Please contact Sandi for details. 

 

We do not have the space on our website to store our photos so we use a Professional Photo Service called Smug Mug to store our photos. Smug Mug has given us unlimited photo and video storage under their Non Profit plan.

 

The public can view our photos in our various Galleries (photo albums) by going to our SGCASG Smug Mug Home Page and clicking on a Gallery. They can right click on a photo to download it or share it. 

 

Galleries are inside Folders

A Folder contains one or more Galleries. Each Gallery represents a specific time, event or meeting.

Folders are used to hold all the Galleries in a similar Category. 

Here are some of the Folders: 

The General Galleries Folder  contains five Galleries. One Gallery contains photos taken in 2019, another Gallery has photos taken in 2020, etc. right up to the current year.

The Event Galleries Folder and Community Service Galleries Folder contain Galleries of photos taken at a specific Event such as Spring Fling, Sewing Retreat, Annual Meeting or at an ASG/Chapter Community Service project.

The NG/SIG Galleries Folder contains a Gallery for each of our NG/SIG's that take photos of their program or their members Sew N Tell.

The Member Contribution Galleries Folder consist of Galleries that individual members want to share. Some of the Galleries in this folder are: Our Sewing Space, a member attending a Louise Cutting Class in IL, an ASG Sewing Tour  and a members published articles on Doll Making.

 

Any member can have a Gallery. The only requirement is that it must pertain to needle work or a needle related activity. Please contact Sandi for details.
