Linda B proposed a possible class in November with a name instructor: Klaudine Hanson.
If Linda can obtain her for later this year, she can "lock her in".
Motion made and approved - we will transfer funds from the general budget to the educational budget as needed to obtain a name teacher. Raffle Quilt generated funds do go into the Educational Budget. To help offset costs, a minimum fee may be charged to attend the class.
