Angela reiterated that the Quilt Show dates have been changed to April 30th and May 1st, 2011 due to a conflict with Easter.

Also each member is to bring the lipstick you wear for a fun activity the committee is planning. It was brought to the members’ attention that the December meeting is the Tuesday before Christmas.
