Mother Lode Show Chair -

will be her final show.
If you are interested in producing the MLS
starting in 2027, we would like you to begin to shadow Su during the prep for the 2026 show so that you can take over
at the end of 2026. Many volunteers
assist Su each step throughout the production process.
We are looking for someone
to make at least a two year commitment
to produce the 2027 and 2028 shows.

in 2027 and 2028 as needed. She is
also preparing an instruction manual.)
