The next meeting of the Program Committee will be Tuesday, September 27th at 3 pm at Laurel Manor.
Alice Nichols thanked those chapters who have turned in their completed blocks for the donation quilt. Blocks from Chatham and Lake Miona are still due.
There was discussion on how to move the monthly guild meeting along so there is sufficient time for Show and Tell as well as how to better control Show and Tell. The program committee will have a board at each meeting listing the upcoming programs. This information is also available on the guild website. The hosting group should ensure each show and tell participant fully and legibly completes the form and carries their assigned number off the stage to meet the photographer.
Mary Shara reported for the nominating committee. Alice Nichols is a candidate for president and Lucie Verbois has agreed to be a candidate for Treasurer.
It was noted that the guild is in compliance with the Villages Recreation Department guidelines regarding our group's presenters selling their wares. Guidelines were outlined in a note from Pam Henry, Recreation Manager.

Respectfully submitted,
Joyce McKee, Secretary
