The July meeting of the Brownwood Quilters Guild was called to order by interim President, Angela McCorkle ( in the absence of Joy Ivy & Doris Rice).

Marcella League made a motion to accept June minutes; Lynn Patrick 2nd the motion.  Motion carried.

No roll call was given due to the fact that secretary, LaTrelle Locks, failed to have list with her.  A sign up sheet was placed at front door.  There were 15 members present & we had 2 visitors;  Connie Hart and Camryn Bills.

Angela asked that the Quilt Show Committee meet every quarter.  She also confirmed that Sue Garman will be our speaker on Friday & Debbie Maddy for Saturday of the quilt show next year.
A suggestion was made to have a “2 day pass” for the quilt show.  It was suggested that we charge $10 for 2 days as well as give a $2 discount for Senior Citizens.  More discussion on this topic next month.
