Mary’s River Quilt Guild

General Meeting of July 24, 2014

President Beth called the meeting to order, reminded everyone of the hospitality sign up and shared some information on the survey taken last month. Surveys were made available to any who may have missed last month’s meeting.

Marcia discussed the issue of legacy for quilt makers – being sure that we include the “closets” of material and sewing machines will go to designated persons or groups. Many may not be aware of the value of our quilt closets and it is important to put something in writing to be sure that things aren’t found in burner bins.

Beth shared the openings for next year’s guild board which include president, treasurer, program chair, BOM chair and marketing chair. The guild is greatly benefited by volunteers and more people are needed to aid with committees. Small amounts of time are needed generally and there is great joy in getting to know more of your fellow guild members.

QITG thanked those who have brought quilts for the show. Linda will be home August 1 from 2 PM until sunset for drop off of quilts for the show. As of August 1st the local quilt shops and four garden centers supporting the show will have tickets available for purchase.

Raffle 2014 still has some time slot openings for the fair, FOF and QITG. It was reported that $837 was raised in Sisters Raffle ticket sales.
