Minutes of the Board Meeting will be available on the Ning Forum (members only) soon.
Board Positions
Volunteers are needed to run for Board positions. The guild is as wonderful as it is because we all do a little bit. Many hands make light work and we don't want to burn out any of our fabulous volunteers.
Positions Available:
- President: run meetings, create meeting agendas, make the guild what you want, delegate to and encourage other volunteers .
- Asst. Treasurer: provide backup to Claire
How will you contribute?
Opportunity quilt
Make sure you talk to Amanda about your free tickets.
Volunteers still needed for white glove duty and to sell tickets at PIQF. Check the information on the blog and the Ning and talk to Amanda. Remember that you need to fill your spot if you end up not being able to volunteer.

Next Charity Sew Day will be on November 7 at Peggy's Community Room. Look for details on the Ning.
Some larger quilts need to be quilted. See Peggy or Michelle.
