Empire State Quilters

President's Message

PRESIDENTS’ MESSAGE

Hi there, Quilters. We hope you’re doing okay with the dog

days of summer. Also hopefully the weather will be nicely

autumnal for our September guild meeting.

Did you do a lot of sewing? A lot of planning quilts? A lot

of buying fabric? Discover any new notions or new usues

for old notions? How’s it coming with your Show quilt and

your Presidents’ Challenge quilt?

If you haven’t renewed your membership yet, please do so

right away online or by mail, or be ready to renew at the

Membership Table as you enter the sanctuary.

We revised our charity procedures, so be sure to read the

new ways we’ll handle both monthly/Charity Day and

December Holiday donations. Also notice that quilts will be

given out for distribution late in the meeting, no more helping

oneself early to get the best ones. Also, the Charity Tables

will be covered during the parts of the meeting when someone

is speaking, similar to the Library and Vendor Tables being

covered then.

Covering the tables shows respect to whomever is speaking.

So does pausing your conversations until the next break or

after the end.

Something to think about: Our June meetings are usually

not well-attended, so we’re considering NOT hiring a speaker

for then. If we don’t have a speaker, what could we do instead?

Figure about 45 minutes, the time alotted to speakers. Email

suggestions to Lee or Kitty, or hand them to us at the

September meeting.

A list of WHO DOES WHAT is now available on our website,

under About Us, with a link. Hopefully you’ll find it useful.

On the topic of Who Does What, it’s not too early to think

about who will do what starting after our June 2019 meeting.

Think about what you’d like to do for your guild, by yourself

or with a partner. If you have questions, chat with the

current volunteer.

On the topic of Volunteer, please remember that all jobs at

Empire are held by volunteers, so please always be

considerate of them.

Support our local quilt shops. We’re lucky to have them.
