Scrappy Ladies Quilt Guild Minutes – April 14, 2025
Call to order at 10 a.m. by Tracy Dempsey in Cheri's absence. There were 14 members present and 2 guests. Welcome to Elizabeth Martin and Nicole Scott.
Tracy shared a thought of the day.
The Treasurer's report was given by Margaret. We currently have a balance of $5,635.42 which includes $3,300.00 in retreat deposits.
The balance in the raffle account is $2,248.50 according to the information Cheri left with Tracy. Carolyn Baker stated that the bank now requires a copy of the minutes stating the changes that need to be made to the signature card on the raffle account. A motion was made by Deb Behringer with a second by Vachon Bouchard to add Mary Lou Tyus and remove Maryellen Naughton as signers on the raffle account. Motion carried.
Mary Lou has tickets with her today. Please remember to buy your $10 worth of tickets.
Charity Quilts. Vicki currently has 8 quilts. She has a quilt ready to be given to a young lady that is graduating from Goal high school this year. Please continue working on your charity quilts. Our Christmas project for the foster kids in Walsenburg this year will be fleece quillows. Patterns were passed out last month and there are videos you can watch online as well. Both patterns need 2 ½ yards of fleece.
The May meeting will be our annual tea and potluck. This year's theme is centered around aprons. So please wear your favorite apron. They will be voted on with prizes given to first and second places. You can bring a teacup and placemat if you wish but it's not necessary. Also, please bring two wrapped gifts as we will be playing Bingo. A sign-up sheet was passed around for the potluck.
