President’s letter – Aug. 2022
Hello
my fellow lace-makers. Hope that you are getting a lot of lace made
in a well air conditioned spot.
We held our business meeting last Tuesday at the library and via zoom. Thank you to
those who were able to attend. It was good to see you all.
Louise’s Milanese workshop will be October 22, 23, and 24. Kathy Ogle will be contacting
you with pricing and details soon so that you can make your plans. It is always an
enjoyable workshop as we have some time with one another and an excellent, patient
teacher with very creative patterns for us to choose from. I hope you will be one of the
12 that than can join the workshop.
Arthiss was delighted to see all the wonderful books that Pat Kuhler’s daughter, Amy
, donated to our library. There were 125 items! About 50 of them are new to our library
and Arthiss will add those to the library and come up with a plan to distribute the
duplicates.
Lisa, Susan, Sherry, Heather, Karen, Stacy, and I enjoyed the IOLI convention in Mesa.
Next year the convention is at The Nugget in Sparks/Reno, Nevada from June 25 to
July 2, 2023.
If you recall, we honored Rowena, Elena and Opal as our members over 80 this year. That
gave us some good memories for our Historian to file. Next year the convention in
Sparks/Reno is honoring members who are no longer with us. We thought of Lou Rilla
Hughes, Pat Kuhler, Pat Maca, Velosta Jurick, Mary Ellen Beaty, Roz Dorkin, Ruth
Hickman, Nancy Washburn, and Ruth Leatherwood. Most of these ladies were no l
onger attending meetings by the time I, and many of us, joined the group so we will be
depending on those of you who knew them to share your memories, stories and photos of
these ladies with us so that we can create a nice memory page. You can pick a person or
persons to write about and collect additional information on them from others. If you
don’t have photos we probably can find some in the Historian’s files. Or you can send
your memories and we can compile them.
At convention we received our IOLI certificate in recognition of 1,093 volunteer hours
promoting lace and lace-making. These hours continue Dallas Lace Society’s certificatio
n as a member of IOLI. The following is a list from our by-laws of activities that can be
