Minutes: Greenville Modern Quilt Guild
The March Meeting was opened with a Welcome by President, Dawn Bianco.
Dawn asked for a motion to accept the February minutes as written. Dagmar Theodore made a motion, and Linda Cassell seconded. The minutes were approved as written.
The Board held a meeting in late February for which the minutes are posted on the Members Only section of the web site. Members are welcome to review those and contact any board member with questions or input.
The June meeting is slated for a sew day with a break for lunch and Show and Share. There will be no business meeting for that day. And there will be no program.
Other announcements included a custom table for sale by Sandy Helsel who is moving away. (This flyer was sent in a separate email to membership by Dawn Bianco).
Dawn also announced that Dagmar Theodore and Donna Boylan will serve as co-chairs of our holiday luncheon this year.
Another announcement included news that Sarah Hibbert, who presented to us last year, is part of a UK Tour during the quilt festival. She’ll lead a shopping excursion. Information can be found here: https://opulentquiltjourneys.com/allcraft-
