President's Message
PRESIDENTS’ MESSAGE
Hello, Quilters, and Happy 2019! We hope you all enjoyed your holidays. This is the last year of our co-presidency, and what we would like for all of you to make a New Year’s Resolution of is to be kinder to one another. January is the month for new beginnings and letting go of any past difficulties. Thanks for helping to make our guild a gentler place with a strong sense of community.
With elections coming in May, we also want you to think about which responsibilities you’d be willing to assume. For starters, we need a nominating committee, which should consist of 2 board members and 1 or 2 guild members. There are positions to fill and we would like to see some new faces on the Board.
I (Lee) am sorry I was too sick to attend the December meeting, but heard lots of good things about it. Thanks to our 1st VP Janice, party team Gretchen and Rebecca, and Ways & Means team Cathy and Susan for doing such a great job! Also thanks to everyone involved in creating, buying, organizing, and distributing all the items for charities. You did us proud, and made many kids and some adults very happy!
Support your local quilt shops. We’re lucky to have them!
