Hello Guild
Friends,
I hope this
note finds you and your loved ones safe, dry, and with utilities and your
celebrations of Labor Day without mishap.
It had been horrific this past week.
Before the
storm it was good to get a little relief from the heat. We enjoyed some time playing with the grand
babies and gardening. My citrus trees
made it through the hot summer and I look forward to satsumas this fall!! I am
very excited to meet Karen Stone and hear her lecture next week. Her quilt designs are a beautiful combination
of traditional and modern styles.
Just FYI,
we will postpone the "First & Favorite" quilters for September
& October. These meetings will be
very full and I will do my best to cover the business portion of the meeting
quickly.
Remember, October
and November meetings are 2nd Thursdays of the month rather than the 1st.
**Retreat
News** I have been in close contact with Lori at the Feliciana Retreat
Center. She said the camp often loses
power during any type of windy storm situation and is without power for several
days. She fully anticipates the Center
will be out for a week. The power
companies will work to restore residential power before they work on a camp in
the woods. She and I worked out an
alternate weekend that is available to us, Friday, October 5th thru Sunday,
October 7th.
Joyce is
prepared to give full refunds for those of you who cannot transition to the
rescheduled date.
I'm so sad
for this change in date. This would have
been our largest retreat event ever.
Hope to see
you all next Thursday.
Cynthia
