You do not have to be on the MLA Board to be a committee chair or on a committee. We need people to help plan shows, coordinate volunteers, help with the fiber/wool. Please go to Who's Who at the MLA to see the committee openings.
We accomplished several goals last year, but we want to continue to grow our organization. We offer discounted merchandise and stall fees as part of the membership. What do we need to grow our membership?

In the fall of 2003, the MLA board approved the development on an annual scholarship program. The intent of this award is to help members and their families offset a portion of the educational expense for vocational and academic training beyond high school. In 2011 the Laurel Zechlinski Memorial Scholarship was established by Ron Zechlinski as a separate scholarship.
Scholarships are open to any MLA Member in any school.
Each scholarship consists of $1,000 stipend given to the students chosen by a selection committee determined by the MLA board. The scholarships are presented at Llamafest each fall.
Once awarded, the scholarship would be renewable by application for any year a student attends an institution granting skill certification, associate, undergraduate or graduate degrees. A student would be eligible to renew the scholarship a maximum of three times during his/her academic career.
The number of scholarship awards and/or renewals is determined annually. This determination will be made by the board or its appointed agency based on the funds available, the number of applicants and the selection process.
