Second Quarter Newsletter

President’s letter - May 2021
We had another enjoyable zoom get-together. It was good to catch up with those that could attend.
It is very important that all members who have volunteered support services to the group, demonstrated lace, or attended a zoom meeting total their hours for Debbie’s report to IOLI. We are required a certain amount of hours to maintain our charter. The time period is from the last of April 2020 to the last of April 2021. Send the guestimate total to Debbie as soon as possible.
Activities are getting organized for the IOLI virtual convention. Registration will begin May 15 for members and June 1 for non members. Be sure to check it out at internationalorganizationoflace.org. There is a sneak peak of the classes that will be offered.
Sherry is working on a virtual display room of lace that has been or is being made, pictures of your favorite things, or anything related to lace that you would like to share. She will be sending out the details soon. Sherry is also organizing a virtual display highlighting each charter group. She would like one representational picture from each group. We discussed some ideas for our group. Arthiss suggested, if we got to work fast, we could each make a flower and create a garden picture of all of them together. Or maybe use butterflies and make a swarm (flock) picture. Another suggestion was a photo of our banner or a group photo. Perhaps everyone already has a bookmark made that we could collect and form into a picture. Any other suggestions? We would need to have it to Sherry by mid June.
Our biggest discussion was about having live meetings again. The library is only open for picking up books and brief browsing so that space is out of the question. The new library will be open sometime this summer but who knows if it will be open for meetings by then. You can check out the details about the new building at supportdpl.org, choose programs and then forest green wish list. As we discussed last month, we made a $200 donation.
Back to live meetings - we decided we could meet in someone’s home as long as we are vaccinated, could wear masks if that makes anyone more comfortable, and keep a good distance between us. Arthiss, Debbie and I offered our homes for meetings. If you think you would be interested in attending a live meeting please let me know. Kelly has offered to bring the party cart and snacks to the first meeting.
Our next business meeting will be August 3, 2021. A week late due to convention.
Best wishes to you all,
Marilyn
