What's New with WBA?

welcome to what's new?

10/23/2024

 

Dear WBA Members,
​
We're so excited about the warm reception for the World Button Association. We've had so many positive comments about the reasons for joining WBA. 

​Did you know WBA released a new book? Jocelyn Howells, author and button expert, wrote Introduction to Button Collecting. Order your copy under the Books & Biblio tab.

I hope to engage with you all on a regular basis through this blog so you don't have to search for additions to our website. The website has been open for less than two months now and we've already added new information within the last few weeks! Everyone is invited to contribute to the many areas of the website. Our mission is to share button knowledge - so contact us with anything you'd like to share. Let's build WBA together! 

Join us on October 29th for a tour of the website with Pam Luke, WBA Webmaster.

My email box is open 24/7. Send me your thoughts, comments, and questions.
Click here to email me.
​

Until next time,

Debbie
President, WBA
