Updated Calendar should be ready and available by the next business meeting. I will also post it on Facebook and the Blog so stay tuned.
CC will be teaching a class on January 31st, from 9:30 to 2, on how to make bags. She gave a demo on what she plans to show us how to make.
-For the class you can use leftover blocks or fabric of your choice. The amount varies according to the size of bag that you are wanting to make. If you want to make a bag for a specific item/s (like to carry your Bible, books, or quilt things in), you will have to measure those items to determine the amount of fabric needed. Probably at least 1 yard needed to make small bag.
Motion was made to accept minutes as posted by Karen C. and Judy.
Motion was made to accept the treasurer's report as read by Shannon by Keri, Julia, and Jennifer.
Judy updated us on the T-shirts. There are extras in the cabinet that are free for new members that she will keep inventory of in case we get low to ensure we have some for new members. If any member who received one wants another, they can contact Judy and the cost of the extra shirts are $10.
