As the year quickly draws to an end please consider filling one of the many positions listed on Page 2 of your membership booklet. Let Dee know if you are willing to continue in your current position or are stepping down. It takes a village of quilters to make our guild a fun and vibrant group! We are adding the position of Hospitality House refreshment coordinator to the list.

Thanks and enjoy the beautiful fall leaves before they disappear! Karen
