Important: IFACSTA needs a candidate for President-Elect. This is a 3 year commitment, and the person should come from Region 3 or Region 4. If you are interested in this position, e-mail Anne Emery at anne.emery@cocusd3.com. Thank you!

Note from President-Elect, Kay Smith: 

Cindy Stover is needing hosts/hostesses for sessions at the IACTE Conference next month (some of which have already been filled). Also, if you have any suggestions for presenters at our IFACSTA conference in July, please let me know.  I have some, but still looking for more.  If you know someone near the Champaign area, business owners/managers, university professors, etc. they would make great contacts. Thank you so much for your help; you're great!

Sewing and Fashion Design Internship Opportunity - Summer 2020

Message from Elena Victoria looking for summer interns:

"I thought this would be a great opportunity for your students who have a strong interest in sewing and design. 
I graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Apparel Design & Technology. I now own a small business that teaches youth how to design and sew clothing, as well as creating custom gowns for private clients. 

I am looking for summer interns for Summer 2020 to run my sewing camps for kids. I am currently in 4 locations, Birmingham, MI, Grosse Pointe, MI, Wilmette, IL, as well as Hinsdale IL. This is a paid internship, great for students looking to earn some money this summer while staying sharp in their skillset! Here is a short promotional video that will give students a better idea of what I do: https://vimeo.com/289121431

I was wondering if you could forward this onto your students. I am also open to coming in and speaking with the class as well. Thank you in advance for your time!"
