Our annual general meeting is this Thursday May 10, 2018 at the church. Therefore, we won’t have a vendor of the month or a speaker…but there will be treats and don’t forget to bring your favourite mug/tea cup as tea will be served. There will be reports from your current executive and elections for next years’ executive. We are currently looking for individuals to fill the following vacant positions: Secretary, Library, Blog Editor and Vice President. Please contact Cindy Fisher if you would like to take on one of these positions. This is an excellent opportunity for you to support the guild.
Don’t forget to bring:
- Your Quilt for all seasons challenge. There will be a prize for the favourite.

- Chatelaine
- Notion of the month: a package of veggie or flower seeds to be donated to Community Gardens.
