October 26, 2021 Business Meeting Summary


We had our first meeting in the new Forest Green library.  It was exciting to be back again and we hope to continue meeting regularly on Tuesdays from 11 AM to 3 PM and on the second Saturday of each month from 1 PM to 4 PM.


We discussed our successful and enjoyable workshop with Louise.  We then voted to invite Louise again.  The dates will be October 22, 23 & 24, 2022.  


We voted for Arthiss to purchase our library a membership in a new lace periodical that Lily had shared with us.  More about that will come from Arthiss.


Jackie had a great idea of putting a face photo by our names in the directory.  She will contact Kathy to explore this idea.


We conducted the election of officers.  I know we all appreciate the work of these individuals as they dedicate their time to keep the organization running smoothly.  We all know that it takes all of our members being engaged to make this the welcoming, sharing group that we love.

The results were:

President, Marilyn Waisanen

Vice President, Kathy Ogle

Treasurer, Stacy Tackett

Secretary, Debbie Stone

We are so grateful to our committee chairs for their good work:

Membership, Kathy Ogle

Library, Arthiss Kliever

Hospitality, Rowena Billow

Newsletter, Media and Historian, Kelly Day


It will be Christmas party time before we know it.  We have the library reserved for December 11.  We can begin set up at 11:30 and lunch around noon with festivities ending around 3 PM.

There will be the lace exchange where you make a lace item, wrap it, and discreetly place it with the other exchange gifts.  Then you get to draw a gift from the pile when your number is called.  There will also be a raffle and door prizes of items donated.  Stacy will coordinate decorations and Kelly will coordinate food and donated items.


Our Christmas lace balls project is progressing.  Hopefully we will have a good number to display at the Christmas party and have for future demonstration displays.  If you have any thoughts on the best way to display them let me know.  We could have a meeting day in early December to work together on putting the lace onto the balls.


Wishing you well and hoping to see you at a meeting soon,


Marilyn




Demos


The Dallas Quilt Guild is having their yearly quilt show at Market Hall on March 11-13, 2022. We might be asked to demo there but don't have anything firm yet. Be thinking if you might be interested in doing it. We usually do all three days.
