So sorry I had to miss the March meting and didn't get to see Kathy Morrison "Wow" you all with her talents. Unfortunately the 'bug' finally caught up with me. Doing better now after a round of antibiotics. Many thanks to all those who took over and kept things running smoothly.
It is already getting to be that time of year for you to start thinking about the committee in which you would like to participate next year (fiscal year starts September). All areas are open except Programs and I am happy to thank Deolinda Rhoads and Barbara Sindlinger who are already working together to bring us an exciting year.
In May the ladies of the Nominating Committee will be calling to see what will be your committee choice for next year. Keep doing your best for the Challenge and Mystery quilts. We look forward to seeing all of them in June. Don't forget about bringing items for the Monthly drawing.
Many Thanks,
Fondly
Margaret Davis
