          Icecream “Sew-cial” !!      

Guild Officer Inductions

Volunteer Recognition

Celebrate our old Guild year and bring in the new Guild year making Icecream Sundaes with your quilting friends.  Vanilla or Chocolate Icecream will come from Culvers.  There will be an Italian Ice for those who cannot consume dairy products.  There will be loads of toppings so that you can make whatever creation your tummy desires.  At the July meeting, there will be a sign-up sheet for members to volunteer to bring one topping.  The more the merrier!!   August is perfect for Icecream.

Help make Breast Cancer Pillows following the August 20th meeting

Note from the Vice President

Cannon Cause for July is school supplies. Many stores are putting them out now as many schools start the 1st week of August.  They could use book bags also but older kids must have clear. I went by 5 Below yesterday and they did not have any backpacks.

August is personal care products- soap, shampoo, women’s sanitary products, toothpaste, etc.

September is dry foods- pasta, cereals, rice, dried beans, etc.

We will have a sew-in after the meeting in August to work on breast cancer pillows.  Whether you like to sew, stuff or cut we’ll all work together

Also, for next year, we still need someone to be the chairperson of the small bee groups..  Kim Beasley has done an awesome job in this position, but she will now be the chairperson of programs.  If you or someone you know would like to take this position, please let anyone on the board know.

Joyce Taylor
Vice President

Masks are optional.

No food or drinks will be provided.

The door on the left side of the building will be locked; however, we will have someone stationed there to let people in from 9:30 until 10:05.  If you arrive after that time you will need to enter through the door on the opposite side.  (the side by the traffic light)

Show & Tell – Because we expect everyone will be anxious to show what they have been doing over the shut-down, we will enforce the two quilt limit for show & tell.  We need to give everyone a chance to display their projects.

Free Table – The Free Table will be set up for you to share your treasures.  At the end of the meeting, please take home any of your items that were not chosen.

GOT TICKETS?

The birthday table will be set up for our first time back together in two years!  Raffle tickets are still a bargain (when everything else is rising in cost).  Just $1 will get you four tickets.  Time for us to gather and have a great time!

Library

Thanks to all our members using our library. Hope you are enjoying new additions from our recent and upcoming guest speakers as well as our latest additions to Quiltfolk. Because we registered our guild with Quiltfolk’s nationwide guild directory we are receiving copies of Quiltfolk on a quarterly basis.

Quiltfolk would love to find more ways to work together and support our guild. If you have any thoughts, please feel free to contact the Librarians or Board Members.
