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

President’s letter - August 2021

Well we were feeling a bit free last month and getting out more but COVID has come

back with a vengeance so back to being more careful we go.

We had a nice in person and zoom meeting for our business meeting last month. Stacy,

Jackie, Pat and Donna joined me for lacing in the morning. It was fantastic lacing live!

Later Debbie came by and Norell and Kathy Ogle joined us via zoom.

We discussed Louise’s workshop scheduled in September and agreed we would host the

workshop. We have ten lacers planning to attend.

This was also the meeting where (per the by laws) we were to form a nomination

committee in preparation for voting in officers at the October meeting. We mus

t have an Executive Board consisting of a President, Vice President, Treasurer, and

Secretary. Linda had notified me that she did not wish to continue as treasurer. Sh

e has been our fabulous treasurer since 2007 and I know we all truly appreciate her

service. Stacy volunteered to be the treasurer again. Debbie who has been our dedic

ated secretary, for about that long I imagine, has graciously agreed to continue. Kathy

Ogle kindly volunteered to be Vice President but she already manages membership. I’m

sure she would appreciate it if someone else would step up to the position of Vice

President but I’m sure we are all grateful that she is willing. I could remain as president.

If anyone would like to volunteer for any of the positions please just let me know before

October so you can be added to the ballot. Your help is always welcomed.

We have decided not to demo at the State Fair but we did have entrants into the Bobbin

Lace category for the Arts and Crafts competition. It was fun to participate in

something!

Hope you all stay well and safe,

Marilyn
