President’s Message – 03/22

2022-03-22T14:17:54-04:00President's Message|

It’s almost time to meet again in person!

Reminder: Meetings will now be on WEDNESDAY evenings at Kennedy Catholic starting at 6:00pm. (Board meetings will continue on Zoom on the Tuesday the week before the guild meeting at 6:00pm.)

 
On March 16th, instead of a guest speaker, our Special Interest Groups will meet as well as talk with other members.  If you are not a SIG member, we hope you’ll take this opportunity to visit the different groups, perhaps join one or maybe create a new one!  Our hospitality table will have cookies and a raffle prize table. There will be show pins and charity raffle tickets, membership directories, workshop information, and all our usual meeting ‘stuff’.  Bring your book donations for the quilt show to the library.  Sign up to help with the Show.  Remember to drop off your “Put a Heart on It” Challenge Quilt for the display and voting at our April meeting.  And bring other pieces you have made for Show-and-Tell so that we can admire them and learn from you!
 
On Saturday, February 26, more than twenty-five members gathered at the North Salem Ambulance Corps to make Comfort Quilts.  It was a fun day of friendship, giving, and good food!
 
We have successfully recruited candidates for the board positions for the upcoming Guild election in May.  We have not, however, been able to find someone willing to take on the appointed position of Activities Liaison or other members willing to take on one of those many Member Activities we love. 
·      If you would like to organize a Super Saturday sewing day, contact us! 
·      If you would like to do a Pop-Up meeting, contact us! 
·      If you have an idea for a Member Program Meeting, contact us!
·      If you would like to organize an Ugly Fabric Auction, contact us!
·      If you have an idea for our Challenge, contact us! 
·      If you would like to organize a Trip, contact us!
·      If you have another activity you would like to sponsor, contact us!
 
Additionally, there are still many jobs to be filled for the Quilt Show.  Sunday help is especially needed.  Check the volunteer signup list or contact Helen May to find out what you can do.
 
Our guild is a success because you make it so! 
 
Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Jody and Margaret
