Central Regional Meeting at IOLI Convention 2011
Shemene Peckman, our Regional Director presided.
The order of business was to gather suggestions and
opinions to change the name of "International Old Lacers, Inc." to
something else. Some people felt the word "Old" perhaps discouraged young
people from wanting to learn about making lace and joining. It was
really a discussion only. Ideas and sugestions are to be taken back to
the IOLI Board of Directors. It was noted that if the word "Old" was
changed to another word starting with the letter "O" new stationary and
other items could still be used without creating additional costs to
IOLI.
Since nothing else was discussed or presented, I decided
to ask 3 people from 3 different regions what they discussed. They all
stated the possible name change was all they discussed.
Thank you for having me represent the DLS.
Arden
President's Message
Happy New Year Lacers,
This is the time of the year when we make our new year's
resolution-what is yours? Is it to learn a new type of lace or
strengthen one that we have already learned? I also hope it is to
attend as many lace meetings as possible and to encourage others to do
the same. I look forward to seeing what each of our members are
challenging themselves to do this year. Happy lacing my friends.

Quarterly Business Meeting July 26, 2011
Quarterly Business Meeting July 26, 2011
Members Present: Rita H, Rowena B, Linda C, Dorothy M, Marilyn W and Debbie S
The meeting was called to order at 12:40 PM by Rita H, President.
Secretary's Report: Debbie asked if there were any changes needed to the April 2011 minutes as published in the newsletter. Rowena made the motion to accept the minutes, Linda seconded and the motion was passed.
Treasurer's Report: Class with Alex Stillwell required only $100 from DLS funds so the student fees covered most expenses.
Arden will have DLS pay her fee for attending the IOLI conference since she was the only member attending and agreed to report about the IOLI meeting.
VP/Program Chairman Report: Need to talk to Cathy about teaching a Honiton class. Also, need to get on Louise Colgan's schedule for another Milanese class.
Librarian Report: Nothing new to report.
Demonstrations: Rita reported 6 hours of demonstration and Linda will earn some hours soon. Dorothy will get contact information from Norrell if Cathy doesn't have it.
Membership Report: There are currently about 35 DLS members.
Hospitality Report: Karen was absent.
Newsletter: Dorothy suggested DLS start a blog perhaps replacing the newsletter. After much discussion, we agreed to try a blog but reluctant to replace the newsletter since many members are not active computer participants.
Old Business: The Christmas party will be held on 12/3/11 at Forest Green library.
New Business: Rita is moving back to Belgium at the end of the year and Cathy cannot accept another term at this time. Therefore, we need candidates for President and Vice-president. Linda and Debbie have agreed to remain Treasurer and Secretary, respectively, for another term.
Next meeting will be 10/25/11.
Meeting was adjourned at 1:15 PM by Rita Hansen.
Respectfully submitted,

President's Message
Dear lacers,
The heat of the summer is behind us and we all are looking forward to spend some valuable time with the family to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Once Thanksgiving is behind us our DLS Xmas party is only days away. If you didn’t start with making your exchange piece, put it on your to-do list because time goes fast and you don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to end up with one of the master pieces made by one of our members.
As the end of the year is insight and I’ll move back to my home country Belgium, it’s time to select a new President to lead this wonderful group and keep the art of lace alive. The place from Vice-President is also an opportunity because Cathy her live changed and she cannot take this responsibility on top of her busy schedule. I know we have wonderful members and someone will come forward to take the lead and keep this club going.
I’m looking forward to a great Xmas party and hope to see you all sharing memories , good food , goodies, laughs and joy,
DLS President,
Rita Hansen-Nieuwendijk
