March Minutes

 Our next meeting, April 26 is going to be a hybrid meeting.  If you are able, we will be meeting at Southfork Community Center at 6:30.  If you are not able, there will be the zoom option.  Our speaker will be Anita Grossman Soloman.  This is a great opportunity for you to take advantage of because she had to cancel back at the beginning of Covid and has since decided to retire. 

Her program may be easier to watch via zoom, but seeing everyone again is also great!

Suggestions for Senior Services for April is hair care products:  shampoo, conditioner and dry shampoo.  Bev will have fabric at the next meeting also if you would like to make a quilt to donate.  Cash is always an option.

The FIRST Tuesday of the month is our day to work on the Raffle quilts.  We will be meeting at Ann Monroe’s house April 5, 5:30 - 8ish.  Please text her if you will be able to come.

The SECOND Tuesday of the month is the Zoom Sewcial if you’d like to “attend” at 6:30.

Our next SWAP will be a zipper pouch due at the May meeting.  Our needle keeper swap was so fun!  Like that SWAP there is no need to sign up!  Just make one and bring it in May.

The Round Robins are due at the April meeting.  If you will not be able to attend and bring yours, please contact Kara so she can help keep things rolling.

February Minutes

We are hoping to be able to have an in-person meeting March 22 at SouthFork Community Center.  It will also be on Zoom if you do not feel ready to join in-person.

Lee is in charge of the program for March and it is gonna be a fun one! A traveling pressing station!  Lee will be sending out an email with all the details.

There are still quite a few people who have not paid membership dues.  You can still do that!  Please send your checks to Karen Camm payable to TMQG for $50.  This allows you to enjoy the programs for this year and all the National Modern Quilt Guild resources.

For March, we are collecting lotions, lip balm, moisturizers, etc. for Senior Services.  If you have not been able to drop any items off, this next month will be a great time to bring items not only for March, but also January (adult diapers) and February (dental health items).

Don’t forget to bring your Needle Keepers for the March Swap to the meeting.  No need to sign up.  Kara sent an email this week if you need ideas.

If you are able to come work on our Fundraising Quilts we will be meeting the first Tuesday of each month at Ann Monroe’s house.  Our next meeting will be March 1st from 5:30 - 8:30.  Please text Ann to let her know if you will be able to come.  No food please and masks are required.

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.
