President's Message
PRESIDENTS’ MESSAGE
Hello, Empire Quilters! Isn’t this autumn weather invigorating? Weren’t there a lot of lovely maple leaf blocks for October’s BOM? Let’s keep it up, making enough BOM blocks each month for at least one quilt.
Apologies for the disruptions at the October meeting. Tina (our new facilities liaison) has arranged a meeting with the church’s new rector and their head of facilities with herself and Lee to discuss preventing such a situation in the future. We’ll let you know how it goes. Our expectations are high.
Our November meeting will be fun, with the Members Boutique plus a couple of surprises. Remember it is the deadline for bringing in items for the guild’s holiday donation distribution to various local charities. Please be generous.
Who does what for the guild? You can find a list of board members and their job titles at the bottom of “About Us” on our website. Then log in to “Members Only” and click on “Click here” to look up contact info.
On the topic of who does what for the guild, remember that we need to elect a new president or co-presidents this spring. Term limits do not allow Kitty and Lee to continue. Please think about taking on the job or persuading someone you think would be good at it. Of course, Kitty and Lee will be glad to answer questions about it.
Just remember, Empire is only as vibrant as the members who step up to volunteer. We always need new ideas and new leaders to implement them. This is YOUR time. Please step up. And don't forget to SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL QUILT SHOP!
