On July 9th, 12 members of the outgoing 2014-15 executive and the incoming 2015-16 executive met at Edith W’s home for the annual crossover meeting. We enjoyed a great potluck dinner and then held an executive meeting where knowledge and lots of paperwork was exchanged.
Edith gave us a final report regarding our Community Outreach numbers for the year. A total of 54 quilts, 102 pillowcases, 112 placemats and 5 Quilts of Valour were donated during the 2014-15 year.
Amalia let us know that the membership for the guild stood at 119 at the end of the year.
Membership Registration Forms for the 2015-16 guild year will be available on the blog in early August.

Reminder-There will be a Sew-In-Day on July 25th at the church. This is a free event from 9-4! Bring your lunch and your own sewing project or Edith will have some Community Outreach projects you can work on.
Kim Z (one of our Librarians) will be at the church on the Sew-in-Day on July 25th organizing the library. If anyone knows of a high school student who needs volunteer hours and would like to give Kim a hand, contact her at

On a personal note-This is my last blog posting as the Blog Editor for LFQG. I want to thank all of the members of the guild for the support that I have received over the last 2 years. I have enjoyed this very much and have increased my computer skills a lot! Cathy S. is taking over as Blog Editor and I know she’ll do a great job. I hear she has some new ideas to keep the Blog fresh and relevant.
All further inquiries and requests regarding the blog should be sent to Cathy at caleeshepherd@gmail.com.
Thanks so much,
Maureen
