Message from the President-January 2011

Can you believe 2010 has come and gone and we are already racing through 2011?

My goal as your president this year is to manage our guild to the best of my ability and have lots of fun doing it!

You are all welcome to contact me either by phone or email with any ideas, questions, concerns. These will all be addressed by the board and we will follow up in a timely fashion.

Our January meeting will be busy and hopefully productive. We will have our annual
business meeting followed by the apron exchange. We will also play the dice game for fat quarters. Bring 3 fat quarters with a snowman theme.

I look forward to a wonderful year with all of you, sharing great ideas, learning new techniques and fellowship with all of the guild friends I have made over the past years.

Sincerely,

Terry
