Minutes
Meeting started: 7:00
Attendance: 39
Guests: 3
Treasurer’s report: $XXXX
New Business: Elections
are coming up in November, anyone interested in running may contact a board
member, so a nominating committee can be formed. The current board is willing
to serve for a second year if the guild is in agreement.
Also,
the possibility of changing the term of service for the governing board to two
years from one year was brought up, this will require changing the bi-laws and
will have to be voted on by the guild.
The
paper products for the guild will be purchased by the guild, in previous years
the paper products were donated by Shirley H. and other guild members
for special events.
Old Business: No
old business was discussed.

Charity Margareta
P. advised there’s a charity sew day at the Millman Center September 23 at
1:00pm. There are dog bed covers made of heavy material for everyone to use for
their scraps, the dogs are ripping and tearing the thinner fabric covers and
ruining the pillows, so if you’re making a bed for a dog, take one of the
covers the guild has available at the meetings or use thick/heavy fabrics.
