Membership News

May is full of new beginnings. The Member Showcase features another set of creative quilts, this time by Jane Eyes. Three members joined the group this April; the Quilt Show success is celebrated; and Membership Registration starts.

Please notice that the form is in this newsletter, on the website, and will also be available at the Membership table this month for you to join the Guild for 2008-2009. The format is nearly the same as last year, with several changes. Note the box to be checked if all address items remain the same. This will assist us with data entry. Be sure to pay close attention to the wording for the choice of online vs. mail for the newsletter. Select Committees and Activities in which you plan to participate. Choose the one Special Interest Group session you will most likely attend so we can get a general count for meeting spaces. During the
year, you may explore any of the categories. Note if you are able to lead a group, or demonstrate a technique. Take care to sign the form.

Last year we had a “lucky draw” for all those whose completed registrations were received prior to our first meeting in September. We will continue that tradition by providing four certificates for area quilt shops, each for $25. All members will be eligible for winning a certificate if their Membership Registration form is on file before September 16. Four lucky ladies will have a shopping opportunity by merely registering! It is especially helpful for us to complete this process over the summer in order to enter data and create information for the new Board. Thank you for helping us.

In June we look forward to Linda Schoenfeld as our Member Showcase. Her display will be a welcome
feature of our Salad Supper. Thanks Linda.

And thank you to everyone for a most productive year!

Susan Wilterding, VP Membership
