and that reimbursement forms could be e-mailed or mailed to her if they could not wait until

the July meeting.

condolence card has been sent on behalf of the guild.

Maryana Negley, Chair of the programs committee, thanked guild members who signed up

to be potential hosts for speakers and those members who helped with the presentation

at the April meeting. Ms. Negley is also in need of a co-chair for instances in which she is

out of town or otherwise unable to attend meetings. The programs have been set for the

remainder of the year and so the co-chair’s duties would be limited to helping with hosting

the speaker and presentations at the meetings.

Lynn Grube from the Service Committee announced that the committee had completed

approximately 60 of the 100 quilts for Community Outreach. She also reminded the group

of the no-pressure Round Robin possibilities for the service committee. Judy Juntunen

quilts from the service committee.

Ms. Ullmer announced that Shirley Strub had raffle ticket packets available for sale.

Theresa Valentine, Chair of the 2012 Raffle Quilt, reported that the theme of the 2012 Raffle

Quilt is “Sunset over Mary’s Peak.” The quilt will be a log cabin quilt and packets will be

ready for members to pick up next month.

Marcia Gilson reported on several projects that are ongoing:

- Ms. Gilson passed a sign-up sheet for selling raffle tickets at the Sisters Drugstore

during the quilt show.

- Ms. Gilson announced that the Sisters Drugstore show has room for

approximately 80 quilts of moderate size, and that there will be opportunities to sell

raffle tickets at that show. The quilts need to be brought to the next general

meeting or dropped off at the Wine Vault. Also a 10% donation to the guild was

requested from any quilt sales at the Sisters show.

- Ms. Gilson and Diane Jackson reported on Quilts in the Garden, scheduled for

August 27th, there are 7 gardens and that volunteers to host the gardens and sell

raffle tickets at the gardens are needed.

example of the Block of the Month for July.
