November Meeting Minutes

 November 23, 2021

Ellen opened our holiday meeting 

Updates:

Bev - Senior Services:  January we will be collecting adult diapers.  Cash is always an option.

Ann - Fabric and batting is available for anyone who would like to make quilts for Senior Services.

Kara - A new Round Robin swap will be announced in January.

It was announced that we will be making 2 throw size quilts for the Raffle Quilts for next year. The patterns we will be using are Cane Creek and Twisted Turns both by our own Lee Monroe.  We will be meeting on some Friday nights to work on them in the new year.  More details about dates and times to be announced in January.

2022 Officers were voted on and approved:

Ellen Quillen - President

Lee Monroe - V. President

Karen Camm - Treasurer

Towona Sherwood - Secretary

In order for a change to be made in the Bylaws, the vote for raising our annual dues to $50/year will be made at the January meeting.  As mentioned in earlier emails, the increase in dues will take the place of additional $5/per national speakers that we have.  Usually we have 3-4 a year, so this is a bargain and also less bookkeeping.  If you have not paid your dues, please try to do that at the next meeting in January.

Christmas games were played and we also signed Christmas cards to be passed out to the clients of Senior Services.
