It was so good to have Charmayne back with us after her foot injury. We had 2 visitors: Karma Sorensen and Joyce Hansen.
President Betty called the meeting to order. Minutes were read and approved. The treasurer’s report showed we had a balance as of May 5, 2016 . Two more members paid dues and all dues are paid now. One check was written to Sally Dea for a roll of batting the Guild ordered from Walmart.

Betty Morris made a motion that Shelly Storjohann be authorized to talk to the bank and get our truename Nishna Botna Valley Quilt Guild corrected on the statement and eventually the checks.Charmayne Presley seconded that motion and it carried. The bank will allow us to use the current checks until they are finished;then order new checks with the correct name on them.
Sharon distributed a new roster. A few corrections had to be made, but otherwise up to date.
The members who participated in the sampler quilt showed their pieced tops or their completed quilts.All were very attractive and well done.
Shelly gave a demonstration on the “disappearing nine patch” block. Very interesting and a good way to use up scraps.
