Charity – Margareta thanked all the members of
Camaco who have made charity projects to be donated throughout the year. There
were 56 quilts donated to CASA this year.
·
Program – Gail reminded us that the December
meeting is our Christmas Holiday party, our pollyanna this year is a handmade potholder, wrap it, put a card in it so the
recipient knows who made it, put it in a paper bag and bring to the meeting to
be swapped!
·
Sunshine – Flossy reported she sent out 3 cards
to members. Joey reported that Grace R could use some sunshine, due to
health issues she may not be able to attend our meetings. Diane D also
had back surgery in October.
·
Ways & Means – A fat quarter raffle was
held. There will be a basket of goodies raffled at the December meeting so bring
your $$$!

Refreshments – Bernie reported the regular
refreshment schedule will resume in January and she will notify who’s next by
email or a phone call. December’s
meeting we will be holding a cookie swap, bring in a dozen cookies to sample at the meeting
and a dozen cookies to be shared with the guild, we’ll all get a bag to put a
few cookies in to take home. Print your recipe out to share with the guild
and set next to your cookies for other’s to take.
·
Retreat – Doreen advised us the quilt retreat at
the Continental Inn in Lancaster, PA last month was very successful. She
reported if the guild is in agreement there will be another one next year Oct
22-25th, 2015, Fri, Sat and Sun at the Continental Inn again, there
will be room for 48 quilters. The guild was in agreement. Doreen asked for the
guild to allow her to use guild funds for the down payment, to be reimbursed
when the payments are received from quilt retreat participants. A motion was
made by Gail B to use the guilds funds for the down payment until we have
receipts from the guilt retreat registration, it was seconded by Joey G.
Old Business: Helen
reminded everyone at the last meeting a motion was made and seconded for the
existing board members to remain for 2015. Although the committees are in need
of help and new members, she suggested joining a committee, the more people the
less work for all involved and it’s a great way to get to know other guild
members. We have a great group of quilters who share their skills and knowledge
to better our guild, join a committee you’ll be surprised at what you
learn…about our members and quilting!!
The meeting commenced with an advocate for CASA speaking
about how our quilts are making a difference in the young recipients lives. He expressed
the love the children have for their very own quilt. CASA conveyed their
gratitude for our generosity. We showcased all the quilts we worked on all year
and were donated to CASA before handing them over. We also enjoyed a covered
dish Thanksgiving celebration. We have so many great cooks and recipes in our
guild, it was a delicious dinner with good fellowship.
Next meetings notes: December’s
Christmas Holiday celebration, bring $$$ for basket raffle, potholder in a
brown bag to swap, and two dozen cookies to sample and share, and a few copies
of the recipe.
Respectfully submitted,
Denise~
