Welcome Ladies,
Christmas Party. Please bring whatever dish you wish. There is no sign-up required. We always have a nice array of dishes: vegetables, meats, desserts, and casseroles. Bring your favorite and a serving spoon if needed.
Bring 1-yard of non-Christmas fabric for the Fabric Exchange. Chances on a raffle quilt and drawings for 6 Christmas quilt tops.
The slate of officers for 2018 will begin their tenure during this meeting. They are Elena as president, Judy as vice president, Karen as secretary, and Suzanne as treasurer. I will assume the role of past president and attend the board meetings.
Please volunteer for committees and special projects. You all have so much talent to contribute. Some will continue in their present committee roles; others need a break or wish to try something new. New Ideas are always Welcome !! Contact any of the officers with your concepts.
Once again, I want to say "thank you" for this opportunity to be your president. My tenure comes to a close as Elena takes the reins as chief executive officer. She has so many ideas and such an eye for design. I recall her original designs from the first time she joined the guild. Elena has many new thoughts and ideas for exploration of quilt techniques and challenges. And she needs to her from you.
I know you all will be open to new projects and helpful in executing the programs and committees that River City is so well known for.
The generosity of all of you and the South Louisiana quilt community has brought tears to my eyes at times and many blessings to my door, more than I ever imagined. You have my many thanks. I know these friendships we have forged will last a lifetime.
Please continue to contact me for Quilts of Valor presentations.
Remember - one last Saturday Sew Day on December 9th.
For my last message as president,
.... SEW, dear ones, be inspired, as I am by your creativity and drive,
……LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH, AND MOST OF ALL, QUILT.
Daisy
