President’s
Review of October Business Meeting
Well
fall has finally arrived and we enjoyed our Milanese workshop with
Louise. Some were making owls, some paisleys, some sunflowers, and
some were completing previously begun pieces. As always, Louise was
patient, kind and efficient. She kept us all moving forward. We
enjoy working her creative designs.
We
have been anxiously awaiting Arthiss’s weekly list of duplicate
books. I hope you have added some new titles to your library.
Arthiss added about 50 new titles to our library thanks to the
generous donations of members and their families. She also has
received $284 in donations for 60 duplicates. I think we can all
agree that Arthiss is the best librarian ever!
The
IOLI convention for 2023 will be held in Sparks/Reno Nevada from June
25 to July 2. There are still not many details on the IOLI website
(internationalorganizationoflace.org)
so keep an eye out.
The
Christmas party will be held the second Saturday of December, the
10th at the library. We will begin setup at 11 and lunch at noon
with lace exchanges, door prizes, and raffle following. Kelly will
be coordinating food so let her know what you plan to bring. Stacy
is coordinating decoration and requested that anyone that has a
Christmas tablecloth bring it for the tables. She doesn’t like
adding all that plastic to the landfill. Contact her if you have any
questions. If you have a lace ornament you would like to hang on the
tree for all to see bring it along.
Definition
of the Lace Exchange: You make a piece of lace, put it in some sort
of container/wrapping and sneakily set it on the table so no one
knows whose it is. You’ll be given a number if you bring lace to
share and after lunch those who have a number will take turns
choosing a present and opening it for all to admire. All pieces of
lace are cherished, simple or complex.
The
door prizes are usually donated lace making items or whatever you
think might interest your friends. You will receive a number that
will be called to give you your turn to pick a door prize.
The
raffle tickets are $1 each and you place one side of the ticket in
the container in front of the item you would like to have and hold on
to the other side. Then a number is drawn and you claim you prize if
it is your number.
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
longer 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. Elena plans to write about Lou Rilla Hughes. I have
received a few comments about other ladies but not enough to write a
brief bio. I hope some of you can assist.
Our
last item of new business was a discussion about hosting an IOLI
convention. IOLI provides a lot of assistance to the host group and
the other lace groups in Texas will surely help us. Sherry Mathers
has asked if we would enjoy hosting the 2025 convention in the Dallas
area. It was decided that we would gather more information about
what would be required of us, disseminate that information, and then
vote at the January 31st business meeting. There will be a form to
fill out notifying IOLI that we have an interest. I will send that
information around as soon as I get it.
