Carol brought small Christmas patterns for all to help do at least one Christmas ornament for the tree at the Library.  These will be needed by November 8. Their theme is using red and gold, but we are not using just that for our colors. The tree will be decorated on November 24.

We will also show our updates of our 2015 Ultimate Guild Challenge (Southern Magnolia theme).

A nomination committee will start the process for electing our 2015 officers, so be prepared to present your thoughts on this.  

SAVE the DATES!  Julia and our Education committee have been working hard on setting up some quilting classes for our guild.  As of today, we have scheduled Favin Glover on March 28, 2015 and Susan Cleveland on November 14, 2015.  More information will be forth coming as time progresses.

Tonya gave our treasurer report and it was accepted as read and seconded.
