Tuesday, July 19, 2022 Happy Birthday to Us!
June 21st will be an in-person meeting from 7-9-ish PM, and we will be celebrating with traditional strawberry shortcake (33 years!). We will also have a Garage Sale with members selling their treasures to other members. This includes fabric and kits from the generous donations of former members and people who have heard of the Guild and want to make sure their supplies will be used (don’t forget your phone for Venmo, cash or checkbook (or all of the above)). For the first time we will also be using Venmo for members to make payments. It is not too late to sign up to reserve a table to sell your unused fabric, quilting or craft items at the Garage Sale during the meeting. The deadline to reserve a table for your sale is June 10. Use the "signup.com" link sent to you in the June newsletter.
The agenda for June is different. It will begin with the business meeting and we will not have a speaker this month. Show & Tell will be immediately after the business meeting and then we will adjourn to have refreshments and shop at the Garage Sale . Since we all need more fabric, this is a golden opportunity to feed your stash ;-) . Other activities during this meeting include:

June 2022
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Well, this summer promises to be very busy with the traveling raffle quilt going to so many different venues. The committees for the Quilt Show are making their plans. We have in-person and Zoom meetings, workshops, Christmas in July, and other activities. I invite Guild members to sign up for these activities and take advantage of their membership. Many of the Guild members are planning summer activities, trips, celebrations and, of course, the things that life throws at you for which you have not planned. For those of you who enjoy the heat (I am definitely not one of that group), summer is a fun time. The rest of us will be blessing the inventors of air conditioning. For those who are not sun lovers, this would be a great time to get some of those UFO’s hiding in the bottom of that drawer and on that high shelf in that dark closet. I want to ask our Guild members to read the newsletter. It has so much invaluable information about the Guild. Please use this useful source to plan your summer and enjoy the Guild! Happy Summer! ~ Nancy J. |
