Retreat The
desposit for October’s retreat is due at May’s meeting.
Old business:
Helen advised she closed our post office box because we
haven’t received one piece of mail the entire time we’ve had it. The USPS
refunded us $20.00 for the balance of the year’s fee. The guild will use
Helen’s mailing address for guild mail while she is president. We can decide
when a new president is appointed how to handle mail at that time.
New Business:
There will be no show and tell at April’s meeting due to the
guest speaker.
