#Repost @cgwinc • • • • • • Costumer's Guild West, Inc. (CGW)'s Board Update: The CGW Board has decided that *IF* Costume College 2020 is cancelled, we will keep everything that we can the same from 2020 and put it all in place for 2021. This would include event themes and such. Yes, there would be some class changes and maybe a committee member or two would decline to continue but basically we would have the 2020’s event in 2021 *IF* we have to cancel in 2020. At this time, there are no plans for cancelling 2020, so no matter what, keep sewing, wash your hands and stay inside if you can. -Mela, CGW President . . . . #CostumeCollege2020 #CostumeCollege #conference #costuming #cgw #cgwinc #costumersguildwest #keepsewing #washyourhands #stayhealthy https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ILQgygvZp/?igshid=1adwp5aljpa7k
