The Rocky Mountain Bead Society was founded in 1992 by Leslie Sartor as she worked to bring a group of people together with a common passion in the hopes that they would build, support and learn from each other. There were 25 people at that first meeting…today the RMBS boasts a membership of over 200 people.
