The meeting opened with announcements for the Art Council by Director, Jan M. (Congratulations to Karen A. for her new position with the Art Council) Jan shared about upcoming changes to our meeting area as the Art Center will be holding classes/activities in the same area. New lockers have been assigned in one of the classrooms for PTQ belongings. All of these items were moved to the new lockers after lunch on Saturday.
Jan also requested that instead of PTQ continuing to donate quilts to the Art Center's raffle each year, we begin donating them to the Homeless Coalition. PTQ can choose to donate quilts to be raffled or just provide lap quilts for those who utilize this service. Discussion of this was tabled until the next meeting.
After Jan's discussion our regular meeting resumed. Minutes from the December meeting were approved as written on the blog on motion by Michelle M. and seconded by Tonya S.
Treasurer's report was read by Karen C. and approved on motion by Tonya S. and seconded by Judy S. If anyone would like to view the treasurer's report in person, please see Karen C.
