PROG has monthly meetings (except August) where we meet to discuss glassware and to become better informed about glass and other collectibles. We are fortunate to have as members some of the nation’s leading authorities in beautiful glassware. We have a Show & Tell table or a “Bring & Brag” time where our “experts” can identify a piece that otherwise has no markings. Meetings include a glass “Pattern of the Month”, a guest speaker or program on glassware or other collectible items.

We usually have a “Show & Sell” table for members who want to display glassware they have for sale. Our refreshments are second to none and always served elegantly. Our extensive reference library, with books that may be checked out, is available to members at our monthly meetings. Members can order and receive a discount on selected books and reference materials.
