Please join us at 6:30 for some informal sharing and Show and Tell.   For Show and Tell, please send pictures of your works in progress or completed pieces to Bob (robert.breitzmann@gmail.com) so that we can clearly see and enjoy your work.

7:00 Program 

Business Meeting to follow

  • Review of minutes for March and April, vote to approve
  • Finance report (brief summary of current status of each of the designated funds)
  • Any announcements from SIGs and leadership
  • Announcement of potential leadership opportunities for 2025 for membership to consider before August meeting (also a heads up for the Budget and Nominating Committees)

A couple of announcements:

Correction:  The InVest in Yourself Workshop with Betsy Bruce first session is scheduled for Saturday August 10, not the 11th as listed in the newsletter.  Please refer to the June/July newsletter for fuller details.  Openings remain! (The Weaving SIG will be meeting at the Conover Workshop on Sunday August 11 as scheduled)

 
Plan Ahead for Fall Meetings:  As you plan your summer, please include preparing an item for the October Fashion Show and SIG Presentation.  This will be a great opportunity for us to learn from each other and enjoy the works on display.  And for November,  it’s Movie Night!  We are accepting any recommendations you may have for films of interest to the entire Guild; please send your ideas to Sally or Yvonne, our Program Chairs and VPs.  Fall is also nominating and voting season – we will be looking for volunteers to rack up their personal RAAM points by helping with the Nominating, Budget and Audit Committees. Your input will be much appreciated.

 

Ginger will be joining us in person for this month’s presentation.  If you are unable to attend at Lake FarmPark, here is the Zoom info:
