This is our first general meeting.
- Janet Steinke opened the meeting welcoming
everyone to our first official “Big Red Quilter’s Guild meeting and
program. Hopefully the road construction will be completed by our December meeting.
- Treasurer Vicky Gray reported we had 55 paid members with working budget of $1643.00….as of 5:00 PM today. Be sure to invite your quilting friends to join us for future meetings.
- SIDE NOTE - 26 new members signed up this evening making a total membership 81!)
- Janet Steinke explained upcoming programs plans are
underway and details will be announced as plans are firmed up.
- Janet Steinke reminded everyone to check
out the official blog and explained how to navigate it. Be sure to sign up two places - as a ‘follower’, and ‘sign
up by email’ so members get automated notice when something’s been posted,
such as road information or weather announcements.
- Sally Leep volunteered to establish and
maintain a Facebook page for the guild as well.
- Pat Navis will gather a complete list of charitable
options to be considered for the SEW IN.
More will be announced in upcoming weeks.
- Janet Steinke asked members to plan on the following for the December 22 Christmas program, and be sure to bring your show and tell (which will be part of each meeting going forward)
- Each attendee should bring a hors oeuvres to pass. The Guild will provide beverages.
- Bring a $10 quilting/sewing related gift exchange.
- We will play a progressive style LRC game, with a GRAND PRIZE awarded to the winner
-
For the program, members assembled at randomly assigned table to ‘meet
and greet’ other members while completing Dove, Star and Santa ornament kits
provided by the guild board. They
were charming!
- The meeting ended with a small but inspirational group of SHOW & TELL quilts. Be sure to bring a quilt to share and inspire to future meetings!
