President Joy Ivy stated that it was her understanding that the Quilt Show Executive Committee makes the proposals.  A discussion regarding the Executive Committees' decision ensued.  Ruby Goodwin noted that the Executive Committee usually meets to iron out problems, but key issues are normally brought to members for a vote.  An informal discussion of the pros and cons of Stash Sale ensued.  President Joy Ivy asked members to vote their opinion of potential Stash Sale at Quilt  Show, and a potential Stash Sale at a regular guild meeting for members.  Mildred Turner suggested an addition of Stash Sale for members during a regular Guild Meeting.  Members Voted as follows: Stash Sale at Quilt Show  FOR 12 AGAINST 5
