Get Involved

Eastern Great Lakes Fiber Conference is a completely “volunteer-powered” enterprise, including a hard-working Publicity Team whose sole purpose is to do just that! 

But nothing beats word-of-mouth to share in the enthusiasm of attending a unique fiber conference and weekend retreat to whet the appetite of fiber love like that of EGLFC.  Autumn is a great time of year to invigorate our enthusiasm for fiber arts — a passion that’s particularly suited for the long, gray winters in our northern climate.

Start by connecting fiber friends with our website eglfc.org. And check back for publicity updates.

Volunteer at the Conference

Many volunteer hours go into planning EGLFC. Many more are needed during the conference itself. Some ways you can volunteer a small portion of your time during the conference weekend are:

  • Registration/Check-in Table
  • Set-up/Take-down events
  • Take a shift in the Exhibit Hall 
  • Be a runner at the Studio Bonanza
  • Model in the Fashion Show 

But nothing beats word-of-mouth to share in the enthusiasm of attending a unique fiber conference and weekend retreat to whet the appetite of fiber love like that of EGLFC. The St. Bonaventure University Conference Center is not only a picturesque backdrop for which to hold an Autumn fiber conference, fall is a great time of year to invigorate our enthusiasm for fiber arts — a passion that’s particularly suited for the long, gray winters in our northern climate.
