The meeting was called to order by our President, Doreen D at 7pm. There were no guests.
Karen reported a balance of  $XXXXX1 in our Treasury. She also reported that we have two new members, for a total membership of 54. Our max is 60.

In response to the emailed January minutes, there were two corrections. One, our Facebook page is CAMACOQUILTGUILDPUBLIC and second, the bus for the South Shore’s Lancaster trip is leaving from the Kmart parking lot.

Committee Reports:
Name Badge: Sonja collected $ 3.75 in “fines” from those without a name badge. The fee is 25 cents. Any name badge will do, but we do have a paper piecing pattern specific for our Guild. See Bev if interested.

Charity: Anna showed a couple of charity quilts and suggested we could make totes to go with our quilts. She has made up several “kits” and were available on a side table.
 Photography: Danielle reported pictures from the previous meetings would be available at the March meeting. Remember to step aside after Show & Tell to have your picture taken and to show your pretty faces!                                        

 Program: Diane reported the Committee almost has the whole year planned. She introduced a " Masterpiece Challenge”. It will consist of teams of 4 and will be based upon a piece of Art. The rules will be posted online and             should be completed by June, in time for display at the Cold Spring's Show. 

A Jelly Roll Race will be held in May and the Committee is asking anyone interested in helping to quilt these, for donation to CASA in November, please contact Diane Dunwoodie to signup.
