FY 2024-2025 Membership Form

Note from the President

As we start a new year for our guild we’re looking forward to some new challenges and some fun things.  There are a few new faces on the board but many have stayed the same but are in different positions.

I would like to encourage everyone to expand your skills and try some new techniques in your quilting.

I would like to also encourage all of you to help out on committees when asked.  It’s a great opportunity to get to know your fellow quilters better.

Looking forward to the new year with all of you.

Joyce Taylor, President

***********2024*********************************************************************************************

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!
