After discussion, Tonya Brock moved we do not loan or rent the new hanging system; seconded by Donna Kudner and carried.
Unfinished Business:
Each Chapter reported on a few activities that they felt would be useful to share. President Nicholas commented on how active our guild members are and thanked everyone for their reports. Our Treasurer, Lucy Verbois reminded everyone that because we are a not for profit organization, she must report all charitable activities/donations at year end so please keep a running report for her.
Announcements:
- Mackey Nylin, the first President of our Guild recently passed away.
- Bev Reep, a former Piecemaker member also passed away.
- John Rohan's wife is battling cancer. Keep these people and their families in your thoughts.
- The Chapter Presidents were reminded to sign their facility permits for 2013.
- Joy Lynch announced Chatham has a bus going to the Jacksonville Quilt Show. Call Alice Bessler at 751-4745 if you are interested.
- Lucy Verbois asked the secretary to remind members that each chapter gets two votes at the Executive Board meetings so if the President and/or Member at Large is not available to attend, a substitute should be sent to the meeting to retain voting privileges.
One representative from each Chapter selected a LaBorsa Bag made by the SeaBreeze quilters from batik fabrics left over from the charity quilt. This bag should be awarded to the member of your chapter who sells the most quilt chance tickets.
Mary Ellen Mineo moved we adjourn at 4:40 pm, seconded by Judy Porter and carried.
Respectfully Submitted,
Joyce McKee, Secretary
