OLD
BUSINESS:
- I announced
a correction to the December's minutes. "Open Sew" for January will
be the 17th, not the 19th as recorded. (February's open sews are the 7th and
21st).
- Dues will be
collected by Karen and her assistants after the meeting is adjourned. (Dues are
due by the 31st. If you have not paid by then, please let Karen know your
intentions.
- Doreen
announced that pictures from December's meeting were on the side table.
NEW
BUSINESS:
- Doreen
announced she will have to "resign" as chairman of October's
Lancaster Retreat for personal reasons. She announced if someone else was
willing to step up, to call her. If not, we have until Friday to get our
deposit back. She is willing to chair the Retreat in 2018.
- The Pillow
Case Race date has been set for 2017. It's September 17th, same place, same
format. However, new this year, our Guild will give a prize for any member who
makes 100 pillow cases prior to the Race. Pillow case kits are available at
each meeting.
- South Shore
Stitchers have invited us on their bus trip to the Lancaster Quilt Show, April
1st. The bus will pick up at KMart, Rio Grande at 7am, returning at 9:15pm.
Dinner will be at Cracker Barrel and the cost for the trip is $38. It includes
the bus, driver tip and the entrance fee for the Show. Send checks to South
Shore Stitchers. (Full information is posted on our website).
- Doreen also
said she would like to have a "day retreat" here. It would include
lunch, a speaker/instructor and of course, GAMES!
- Doreen also
asked if we were interested in having our own bus trip? She asked us to think
about it and we will discuss it at the next meeting.
- Doreen also
"picked our brain" on another topic. Several people have expressed an
interest in moving our regular meetings from night time to day time. She stated
that we do not have time to teach or learn during our present two hour meetings
and that night driving and weather is prohibitive for some. She asked that we
all just think about it and we will
discuss it further at our next meeting.
The meeting
was adjourned at 7:50pm.
Our next
meeting is February 8th, at 7 pm.
We played
QUILTO after paying our dues.
Respectfully
Submitted,
Beverly,
Secretary
