Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Guild:

As we begin a new decade (our 24th year), the International Alchemy Guild holds true to its charter obligations to provide networking and support for modern alchemists.

I want to personally thank the members of our Board of Directors for volunteering their time to the accomplishment of the Great Work of alchemy and sharing their talents and wisdom with our members:
