President's Message
Can you believe that it’s August already? Thinking about fall and quilting? Your board has and is very busy putting together a fantastic 2019-2020 season for Empire Quilters with lots of new ways for each of you to be involved.
We have responded to your suggestions from last year with new opportunities for learning, working and conversation at the 11am hour, more challenges throughout the year (with prizes for the winners), a great BOM season, trips, and some new additions like an occasional door prize. And we haven’t forgotten those well loved activities like the swap, the share table, magazine and book sales, quilters of the month, show and tell, etc. September will be here very soon, so we hope all of you are ready for a great year. Watch for the September newsletter to get all the details.
One Bonus challenge: For the Holiday Charity we are challenging guild members to increase our filled stockings and back sacks to 350, an increase of about 50. So as you are out and about, don’t forget to pick up small items. Think small toys and toiletry items, small notebooks and pencils, coloring books and crayons, puzzle books for adults, etc. Small is the operative word here! Let’s see if we can meet or even go beyond the 350 this year and make lots of folks happy at the holiday season!
