  • The Southern Mountain Handicraft Guild met for its fall membership meeting at Berea College in Berea, Ky., on October 4, 1930. Meeting minutes generally contain committee reports, financial statement, new members list, announcements of regional events, and discussion about special issues facing the organization. This second meeting of the newly formed organization had over 32 people attending with Marguerite Butler, later Marguerite Bidstrup, presiding over the meeting. Items for discussion included: creating a directory of members and crafts, a listing of information about shops, acquiring information about classes, preserving dye plants, preserving old crafts and log cabins, forming a library, creating an emblem, problems involved with up-dating old crafts to modern needs, standards of workmanship, pros and cons of various selling methods, and decorating the Guild office. Committees were formed to pursue many of these issues. The Southern Highland Handicraft Guild was founded in 1930 as the Southern Mountain Handicraft Guild. The name was changed in 1933 and again in the 1990s when it became the Southern Highland Craft Guild.
