The Guild presently (since the year
2000) is made up
mostly of AAPA members and some people who are also members of NAPA. The group
was originated by a group of NAPA members back in the 1970's. There is no
constitution or by-laws, no dues, no officers. You don't have to be an Ohioan to
join. If you ever went through Ohio or if you just kind of like Ohio you can
join the group. It is just a group of like minded
individuals who get together occasionally. The get-togethers are usually in
relation to the planning of a convention of one of the amateur press
associations lately. When the group started we had pretty regular meetings and
printed a joint effort booklet once a year, called the OAPG Annual. This is when
the group was pushed by Rev. Bill Boys, when he was living in Mansfield, Ohio.
We understand there will be an AAPA picnic to
discuss the upcoming AAPA Convention in Columbus, Ohio Aug 20-23, 2009.
We will meet on Sat. April 25 at about 11 am at Jack & Maurine Scott's at 15
mallard Point, Mount Vernon, Ohio. Soup, sandwiches and beverages will be
supplied. You may bring a salad, dessert, or a snack. If you would like to
attend please call Jack at 740-392-8896
