President's September Message
Greetings,

I hope summer has treated you very well. For me, it has gone by much too fast. As usual, I seem to have not completed most of my summer lists.
 
It is time to think ahead to the coming months. Sheri has 3 interesting programs set up for September, October and November.  The October program involves all members. Remember the name tag challenge. All members should bring their name tags to the meeting and the top 5 will be picked by the membership to win a prize. Be creative and have fun making your name tag. New and old name tags can be submitted. If you already have a completed name tag, be sure to bring it with you.

Also in October, we are having our Recycle Raffle. Bring a box of goodies from your sewing room – items that need a new home. Make sure the items are in good working order and that if there is any fabric, it is clean and in a usable quantity. The box goes as a unit and if your box does not go to a new home, you take it home.

We are looking for officers for the coming year. Please consider being an officer. Talk to any of the board members if you have any questions about any of the positions.

See you in September.
Libby O’Driscoll, President

President's June Message
Greetings Everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed Dr. Mary Murphy’s talk about the history of Montana quilting during the May meeting. She had some fantastic stories! The theme will continue with our next speaker, Margot Krager. If you have ever heard Margot speak then you will surely agree that her talk will be equally as fascinating.

Name Tag challenge-
Don’t forget to pick up an embroidered name tag blank from Leslie (cost is $3.00). They have the guild logo on it and you can add any embellishments along with your name. The top five name tags will be voted on during the October meeting and prizes will be awarded. Be sure to pick up your template while you still can.

Quilts on the Lawn-
We will have an information booth at the Quilts on the Lawn, in August. Marion Kraus has kindly agreed to help co-chair the booth, but she would like some company. Please consider volunteering at least a 2-hour block of your time to share the booth with her. We will have a sign up sheet at the June meeting.

We are making the banner for the Quilts on the Lawn booth and so those of you who signed out letters please be sure to bring them with you during the June meeting. Remember - do not trim the block, we will do that as we put the blocks together.  Thanks in advance to everyone that is helping out!

Charity Quilt-
Ann Drenk and Frankie Kustin presented the guild with design options for the next charity quilt. Everyone voted for the Stepping Stones pattern from Judy Niemeyer. This quilt will go to the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Coalition.

All the Best,
Sheri Klas, Vice-President
