Notes from the President

 Thank you Susan and Christa for filling in for me while I was in Oklahoma delivering Charity Quilts to the Oklahoma Tornado victims. I know you did a great job!

 I delivered 50 quilts to Quiltsworks Oklahoma who will be distributing the quilts to the victims of the devestating tornados.  Sandy, the lady in charge, assured me they would go directly to the people.  Her son was also in the path of the Moore tornado so she knows right where the neighborhoods are that need them.  They were very impressed with the amount and the variety of quilts.  Now it is time to make and give quilts to Denver Health NICU Dept.

Our July 3rd meeting will be a charity quilt sew-in with 25 - 2-1/2" strips This was so much fun last year, we decided to do it again! Details are under the Meeting Highlights tab.  

For those of you who are doing the BOM Jacket, you will be putting those together.  Feel free to come and help organize and iron if you don't want to sew.  There will always be something you can help with!

Thanks, also, to Pat Maddaford for stepping up and taking on the Program Chair position.  If you have any suggestions for programs for next year be sure to let her know!

Remember to check out Alicia's Attic and order some discounted books for your library!  What a great opportunity to make money for our club!  Be sure to put our club's code in so we will get credit for your purchase.

Our Aug. meeting will be our Installation of the new board members and a Catered Pot Luck. Details for this will be under the Meeting Highlights tab, also.

If anyone has any new ideas or would like to see some changes for our club, please, let me contact me and we will discuss them.  We are always looking for new ideas!

Till next time,

Keep on Quilting!
