President's Message.
|
A big welcome to everyone as we approach the start of the 2018/2019 guild year! I hope everyone had a fantastic summer and found ways to keep cool and enjoy the summer weather. This year, for the first time, I went as far north as Lake Superior Provincial Park, located between Sault Ste. Marie and Wawa. It's the furthest I've been in Northern Ontario … a beautiful region that's really worth exploring!
Now we can look forward to seeing everyone again while enjoying our monthly meeting activities, including Block of the Month fun and an excellent Programme schedule! And let's not forget that throughout the year there will be workshops, an Outreach event, potluck dinners, chances to win those elusive 50/50 draws and opportunities to sign out a book or magazine from our library! You may also want to check out our updated website. You'll be impressed! In June I also announced a UFO President’s Challenge. I'm hoping there are some members interested in this Challenge, but if fewer than 10 people provide me with their project list at the beginning of the September meeting, then I'll assume there isn't enough interest and we won't proceed. I will be able to confirm that at the September guild meeting. By now the participants in last year’s Mystery Quilts are putting the finishing touches on their quilts and we look forward to seeing them in October. We’ll be sure to get some great photos to send to Susie! Lastly, the Vice President position still needs to be filled for this guild year. If interested, please let someone on the Executive know as soon as possible. It would be great to round out the Executive team sooner rather than later. See you in September!
