Minutes,
August 16, 2016
The Brownwood Quilters Guild met for its regular meeting
on Tuesday, August 16, 2016, at the First Christian Church in Brownwood.
Present were 20 members; two new members, Dianna Mayfield and Deborah Agnew;
and two visitors, Laynie Evans and Linda Heitman.
President Lana Webb called the meeting to order. The
consent agenda was approved, with a motion to accept by Angela McCorkle and a
second by Joy Ivy. Lana recognized August birthdays. She read a thank you note
from the Ronald McDonald House in Dallas where we had sent pillowcases. Lana
had made the most CPS bags (8) and won a gift certificate to Angela’s shop.
Old
Business: Lana reminded everyone of the Mini Quilt Show to be held
in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce Caps and Corks event on October 1.
She handed out more donation quilt tickets that need to be sold before the
quilt drawing is held at this event.
New
Business: Proposed changes to the bylaws were reviewed. Mildred
Turner made the motion to accept the proposed changes, and Ann Turner seconded.
The motion carried.
Lana has made notes with self-addressed envelopes to
attach to WeeCare quilts and CPS bags. Hopefully we will get a response or
confirmation of receipt from the parents or children.
Charlene Cortez did a preview of the beautiful folded
star Christmas table runner that she will teach as a program in October. She
will provide kits for this workshop.
Jeanie Ortegon previewed the November program, when we
will make Vintage Farm Girl blocks to exchange at the December meeting.
