·      Refreshments:           Chairman Bernie S couldn’t be at the meeting but sent in a letter for Doreen to read about our new procedures for refreshments and clean up committee. We're going by alphabetical order and everyone will be assigned a meeting during the year to bring in a beverage or a finger food to share, those people will be asked to arrive 15 mins early to set up refreshments and stay until refreshments are cleaned up for their assigned meeting. The schedule will be on the blog and available at the meetings.



   

Old Business:
Bus Trips: Doreen announced there will be no bus trips this year, it's too close to the NJ Quilt Show in
Somerset to set up a bus trip and fill the bus this year.
Liability Insurance: Helen asked our insurance carrier about reducing our insurance limits, but it will only save $15-$20 a year, they recommend it not be lowered  so it was decided to keep it at $1,000,000.


New Business:

Helen announced there will be a Guild sew together day at Green Creek Fire Hall on
Sunday March 2nd, time to be announced on the blog and at the February meeting. We can work on
getting caught up on our star BOM and assemble your quilt!

Denise introduced the Camaco Quilt Guild Blog. The address is camacoquiltguild.blogspot.com this will
be a place for the members to get info on upcoming events and for the public to get to know a little
about us.

Meeting Program:    

Helen and Denise showed a bursting Heart project that they made for
Valentine's Day. The link to the tutorial is on the blog under January meeting information.

For next month’s meeting: 
Bring a self addressed stamped envelope, a UFO you want to finish this year and a sewing
tip to share.
Ways & Means is doing a Red Fat Quarter Swap too, so bring a fat quarter!


Respectfully submitted,


Denise~
