Committee approved quilter.

Old Business
The separation of the Secretary/Treasurer position was discussed in
April. A motion was made by Ruby
Goodwin, seconded by Judy Tiedemann, to amend the Brownwood Quilters Guild
By-Laws and to split the position and have two separate offices, one office of
Secretary and one office of Treasurer.
The motion carried.
A motion was made by Doris Rice to discontinue reading the minutes at
the meetings. Angela McCorkle seconded
the motion and the motion carried. A few
copies will be available at the Greeter’s table at each meeting.
A donation of $700 will be made to the Pregnancy Care Center. This amount includes the proceeds from the
Goodie Basket, 10% of the proceeds from the Donation Quilt and the remainder of
the charity change balance, leaving $200 for the benevolent fund.
The balance from the Donation Quilt after expenses to be used for
programs was $869.08. A motion was made
by Angela McCorkle, second by Shelia Smith, to increase the amount to $1,000 to
be used by the Vice-President. The
difference would come from disposable income.
The motion carried.
The Nominating Committee, represented by Marcella League and Robin
Moody, reported that two members had volunteered for the Secretary position,
Judy Tiedemann and LaTrelle Locks. After
a written ballot vote was taken for the Secretary position, the following slate
of officers were announced and approved:
President – Joy Ivy
Vice President – Doris
Rice
Secretary – LaTrelle

Treasurer – Cindy
Hadley
There is no Block of the Month for June.
The fat quarter theme for June is “HOT” or anything you think
represents HOT.
Committee Reports
Publicity – Bethany Bletsch reported that notices have been submitted
to the Brownwood Bulletin Community Calendar.
WEE Care – Joy Ivy reported that the silent auction of the baby quilt
made by Marcella League brought in $101 and another $98 was collected for a
total of $199 to be used for WEE Care supplies
CPS – Robin Moody reported that a suggestion was made to sell the bags
at the quilt show next year as laundry bags.
Quilt Show – Angela McCorkle reported that the change to
Friday/Saturday for the show resulted in a slight increase in attendance.
Due to the shortage of workers for the take-down portion of the show,
this task took longer than expected. It
was suggested that the Guild pay workers next year to help with the hard labor.
Plans for the 10th Anniversary Quilt Show are underway with
discussions for a guest speaker, an Eleanor Burns trunk show, demonstrations,
city proclamations and T-Shirt advertising among other ideas.

The Block of the Month drawing was won by Cindy Hadley. The Fat Quarter drawing was won by Cindy
