President's Message
PRESIDENTS’ MESSAGE
Happy Fall!
It was wonderful being at the last meeting. I enjoyed seeing everyone so much. The quilts that you finished during the
summer were impressive! I hope that we see them all in the March show. It looks like the show will be terrific again.
Elsewhere in the newsletter the Show Girls will talk to you about what they need at this point. Please try to volunteer
to help them as much as possible.
The Raffle Quilt committee is also asking that you make a block or two for the new raffle quilt. They need your quilt
blocks back by the October meeting so that they can assemble the quilt at the October Charity Sewing Night. Please click HERE for instructions!
We just want to tell you once again that the December Holiday party will be on December 15-the third Saturday in
December. This is to accommodate the church.
Lee and I want to go over the procedures for signing up for workshops so that there is no more confusion.The workshops are held at Gotham on the Friday before the meeting. These workshops are available both to Guild members and to non-Guild members. In order to pay the Guild price, you must contact Mary Butler, either by email or by phone to sign up. Her phone number is in the Guild directory, Her email address is citymary@aol.com. YOU CANNOT SIGN UP THROUGH GOTHAM AND GET THE GUILD PRICE. If you do not use a computer, you MUST call her.
Have a great October and a scary, wonderful Halloween!
Kitty and Lee
