• Programs – We will have our Mug Rug gift exchange at the December Meeting.  If you would like to participate please make a mug rug and bring it in a brown bag to the December meeting.  You can wrap it if you want and enclose a card so the person who receives yours will know who it is from, but please bring it in a brown bag so they all look alike and everyone can be surprised.  December’s table runner will actually be a table topper.  Directions are on the blog.  Denise mentioned that the UFO challenge is still going and will be tallied up at the January meeting.  Get working on those UFOs!

Old business:

The new Officers for 2018 are;

Helen S. – President

Clare – Vice President

Veronica – Secretary

Helen R – Treasurer

Welcome to the new Officers!

Bernie spoke about the pillow case challenge for Ryan’s Cases for Smiles.  The first drawing will be in February.  Let’s make those pillow cases.

Doreen put off the vote on raising the number of members until the December meeting because she received some emails from current members with input.  She felt it would be fair to give the opportunity to members to be in attendance to actually vote.

New Business: 

No new business.

Respectfully submitted,

Bernie
