October Meeting

We had a nice meeting last night, complimented greatly by Pat's program! We welcomed two new members to our guild last night; Janet and Rodney. They have just moved to Missouri from Arizona and we were very pleased that they chose to spend their evening with us! We look forward to including them in our group in the months to come.

Minutes;

Secretary's report: no minutes for September 
Treasurer's report: xxxx.xx
Committee Reports,,,
Block of the month: Pat Y. has handed all of the blocks out for the year. Romme still has some extra old block patterns in case anyone is behind and needs some of the old ones.

Community service:
Sue would like everyone to make any 12" star block with a cream, tan, or white background with blue and red pieces to include in a veteran's quilt that we are all making together. You can work on your star at Friday night sew (November 4th) or work on it at home. No specific due date.

Old business: 

We all decided that the quilt show and quilt raffle went well. We felt we had a successful show.  
The issue was brought up of how we are going to raise money in the New Year. Some had ideas of holding a silent auction or hiring a speaker to come and the group could host and sell tickets to the public for the event as we have done in the past.

The President's Challenge project is due back next month! Be sure to put that on your calendars!

New business: 
Becky suggested that next month we should begin the process of nominating new officers for 2017. We thought that we might form a nominating committee out of the current officers, but then the decision was made to throw it to the floor to decide on our new officers. 
Show and Tell:
Amy, Patti, Pat Y., Pat O., Janet 

Program: Pat O'Conner
