August meeting.

Still playing catch up with these minutes.  I am still MIA.. so Shelly provided the notes for this post. Hope I get everything right... Let me know if there are corrections.

Meeting was called to order by Dorine .   We had two guest present Friends of Shelly's Shirley Haupert and her guest Pat Marshall.  We hope they enjoyed the meeting and will want to join our group.   Secretary's and Treasurer's reports were read and approved.  There was no activity in July for the treasurer, so balance stayed the same.

Old business included Elaine showing her CLR sampler that she made from last months blocks.  

Betty had the block for August a double pinwheel for the Sampler quilt.  Fran also passed out her blocks for the charity project along with pattern and focus fabric.  

There was another discussion about 2016 officers.  Motion for 1 year term for President and vice president and  secretary.  Treasurer will stay the same ( until Shelly decides not to do it anymore.) 

Sharon offered to be nominated for Secretary . Betty Morris will move up to President.  All approved.  We will just need someone to take the VP position.

New business included Roxie telling us about her friend Charlene McGlenn who has some patterns in Keepsake quilting called Island Batik's.  They are miniatures. ( ooooo I must check those out)

The shop hop was well attended and they found 22 barn quilts along the way.

Doreen donated  a book to the group "Quilters Roadmap "  for anyone to use.  Roxie has it now.

LRC game for Sep will be 3, 2 1/2 inch strips of fall colors.  Our guest Penny Marshall won the CLR game tonight and received the florals

  Food pantry items will be cold cereal.

The annual Christmas party will be at Dorine's on Dec 8th, with a Christmas exchange of $10.00 a homemade item.  Also if you have a gift for your Secret Quilter we will exchange those also. Appetizers will be brought by all.... 

Sew day at Roxie's will be Sept 13th at 12:30 ...cancel 8/29..

Dates to remember are Aug 29th Cut up and quilts 3rd anniversary.
