Note from the President

We had a decent turn out for the Charity Sew-in night this past Tuesday along with 3 new people.  They will probably join in August or September.

At the May meeting someone left a large purple bag that says KEEP CALM and WEAR PURPLE.  In it are several bags of yarn.  Let me know if it is yours.

We will have our 3^rd Tuesday sewing nights on June 20^th and July 18^th.  There is no meeting on July 4^th.  Our August 1^st meeting is installation of officers/chairpersons, overview of upcoming guest speakers and other general info.  The club will be providing dinner so it would be nice to know if you will be attending so we know how much food to purchase.  Please let me know no later than Friday July 28^th.

The Douglas County Fair is the first week of August.  Judi Abbott needs a lot of people to volunteer to help with the quilt exhibit.  Please contact her at tja996@gmail.com if you can help.  She needs help just about every day from Sunday July 30^th thru Sunday July 6^th. 

And again I forgot birthdays.  One of these days I will remember.  So HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO:  Evie Scott June 6^th, Karolyn Mensik June 17^th, Candy Garrido June 20^th, Judi Abbott July 18^th,  and Susan Hall July 23^rd.  If we don’t have your birthday, please let Karen Parry or myself know.
