Introducing the New Managing Director

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to the Springwater blog-reading community.

My name is Virginia Dorell, and I am the new Managing Director of the workshop. Most folks call me Ginny, and I'm excited to be joining the staff of Springwater as we keep moving the organization onward and upward.

I've been knitting since November 2005 and crocheting only since last month. My husband is hoping my new job doesn't mean new hobby supplies filling up the house, but I told him I couldn't promise that!

I've been a newspaper copy editor, a reporter and a representative of small businesses at the Chamber of Commerce. But I could not imagine a more perfect job than here at Springwater to combine my love of yarn, nonprofits and writing.

One of my top priorities is to keep the Springwater community informed of what's going on with the store and the school through the website, blog, Ravelry and newsletter. Please keep an eye on the blog for more frequent updates about classes, supplies and events.

I also want to know what is going on with YOU -- Springwater's loyal customers, students and teachers. I want to hear your feedback and thoughts about what we can do to meet your fiber wants and needs.

Without your support, we would not be here. So THANK YOU from all of us here at Springwater. I look forward to meeting each of you.
