Everyone knows or knew that April 29th was the Doll/Animal workshop. How come there were only 9 members that attended? It was very disappointing to see so few there. We all know this is a guild project that we do for the area hospitals & we should all participate.
Although we had this workshop in Hall at the church there, most members know where this is. If you weren't sure of the location, call someone that does. I can't stress enough what these dolls/animals mean to the children when they receive them. We are a quilt guild that works together supposedly but this certainly wasn't very represented by the members.

Quilt Show
Quilt Show 2010
As most of you know, the meeting notes have been posted. There are errors in the notes.
Barb Shamp did not make the motion, Ellen Buckley did, Barb seconded them.
The motion was made, and a discussion did follow. Our President called a halt to the discussions when BOTH sides were just repeating themselves. As everyone knows, we could still be there discussant it!
I was up front and I did not see 26 not voting. Our President stopped counting @ 47 as it was over half needed for the vote to carry.
8 people objected not 6.
As you can tell, this is a "hot button issue"….I think that all the newer members need to know that we have been at the Marcus Whitman School for about 20 years. In fact, we have never been anywhere else. This Guild was founded by people from Groham, Middlesex, Rushville and a few other towns. But mainly from the 3 mentioned. Lake to Lake Quilt Guild is known for having the show at Whitman.
In years past, the date at the end of June was good as Whitman used to have graduation before the final tests were given. When they changed graduation after the test week, it moved our show to close to July 4th weekend.
The last quilt show, only about 30 people helped, out of 130. That is a really poor showing.
I challenge those who want to move our show to somewhere else to get off their butts and work the show.
If you can’t take the time to work the show, don’t criticize the choice of venue.
