Board Meeting – August 14, 2018
Meeting was called to order at 8:51 a.m. by Claudia Sanders, President.
The board meeting was called to discuss the upcoming 20th Anniversary celebration. In
addition Claudia asked the members to review their duty descriptions. Committee reports
were given.
Programs: is following up on demos for the remainder of the year.
Community Service: Christi King has offered to quilt any community quilt project with her
long arm. Members must supply the batting and backing material and be responsible to bind
it. The board felt this was a great offer and Claudia would announce it to total membership.
Membership: Cindy reported we’ve had a new member every month.
Secretary is still needed. Ren has relocated to Bend, Oregon.
Cindy proposed that rather than one large raffle prize at the anniversary celebration that
smaller prizes could be raffled every 30 minutes. She thought $100 for all prizes would be
sufficient. Marilyn volunteered to acquire raffle prizes.
Cindy proposed that this amount of money should be used for raffle prizes and Lynette
seconded it. All agreed.
Potluck will be a luncheon. Cindy will have sign-up sheet for categories of food so that the
luncheon will be balanced. To start it off, Cindy will bring a ham, Lynette will bring a
cheese tray, and Marilyn will bring a bread tray. Cindy will also have a sheet for members to
indicate if they are bringing a guest. A guest would be a supporter of the Guild, a past
member, or someone who would like to be a member.
Claudia has invited two founding mothers that are planning to attend. She is trying to contact
one more.
Carol Bush described how the quilts from past projects will be displayed. She also contacted
the Independent and invited a reporter to cover the celebration as a human interest story.
Meeting was adjourned at 9:15 a.m.

Claudia Sanders called the meeting to order at 11:28 am. She welcomed the
incoming officers and expressed her pleasure at the high quality of enthusiastic
members for incoming Board.
The treasurer, Bernadette Houghton, reported that the year-end budget is in
good shape. She has already contacted each Committee Chairperson to obtain
their budgetary needs for 2019. She agreed to print a full report of these needs
so that membership can vote on the proposed budget during our January, 2019
general meeting. Following this vote, the budget will be presented to Board
members for their approval as well.
Claudia reminded Board Members of the need for a full audit. Carol Anderson
has agreed to perform this audit in 2019.
Community Service Chairman, Jacki Albert, stated her need to increase her
budget by apx. $250. She assured Board members that she would strive to stay
well below this budget, if possible.
Claudia noted that $100 had been budgeted for Hospitality in 2018. Some of
these designated funds remain after September’s Anniversary Party, along with
some party supplies, including bottles of water, etc. No attention need be given
to the budgetary needs for the balance of 2018.
Tanya Magnum expressed her willingness to Chair the Show and Tell activities in
2019.
Claudia welcomes questions and suggestions from Board members to assure a
smooth transition. Meeting was adjourned at 12:05 pm.

Board Meeting – June
12, 2018
Meeting was called to order at 11:15 a.m. by Claudia
Sanders, President.
The board meeting was called to discuss general ideas, ideas
for the 20th Anniversary celebration, program ideas for 2019,
getting people to volunteer for position in 2019, a gift for the church as
Christi has been setting up the tables each month.
The following are not in the order discussed at the meeting
but rather by topic.
General Ideas
When a member brings a guest to the guild, they would
receive an additional raffle ticket as a thank you.
Ending guild meetings earlier than 1:30pm as many people
leave by Noon.
Getting People to
Volunteer for 2019 Positions
There were no concrete ideas for this issue, but all will
think about it. Programs is the most
difficult to fill, not one thing appeals to all. A brief discussion began about having local
teachers come in throughout the year rather than a large project.
Thank you for
Christi/church
Discussions and ideas for a gift to the church will
continue. Christi has been setting up
tables each month, a most welcome undertaking that deserves a thank you gift.
20th
Anniversary Celebration Ideas
Cindy and Lynette will coordinate the potluck. There is $100 in the budget for both this
potluck as well as the Holiday festivities.
Claudia suggested displaying quilts from years past. She will ask Kathy Keller if she’d like to
display some as she has been a member since Year 2 (Claudia is one of the first
original members).
Corsage/lapel pins ideas were discussed.
Claudia brought up the subject of inviting The Founding Mothers
as well as previous members. Bernadette
suggested inviting past vendors as well.
There was discussion of a raffle gift that a vendor may
possibly donate.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:55 a.m.

Board Meeting –
January 4, 2018
Meeting was called to order at 10:10 a.m. by Claudia
Sanders, President.
The required number of board members were present for a
quorum.
Treasurer’s report: will
be presented at general meeting on January 9, 2018.
Committee reports:
Programs provided a statement that they were ready to begin the calendar
project. Instructions for January and
February blocks will be distributed.
Old Business:
Set-up and tear-down was discussed. Claudia will make up a sign-up sheet. Cindy said she had reminded those signed-up
prior to each meeting and had a good amount of success with the sign-up sheet
that way. It was suggested that recoil
extension cords would make such work much easier. This would need to come out of the Property
account and the budgeted amount did not allow for this. Another source of funding would be the
savings account and it will be discovered how to access these funds per the
bylaws.
New Business:
The bank account signature changes need to be made with the
new year and new officers. A motion was
made by Cindy to write the required memo of minutes and submit to Nuesenda
Credit Union. The motion was seconded by
Claudia and there was a unanimous vote to carry the motion at 10:35 a.m. The memo will add Bernadette Houghton,
Claudia E. Sanders and retain Cindy Gregory as authorized representatives. It will remove Carol Anderson and Carol Bush
from the list.
Other new business-Cindy introduced the possibility of a new
service, rotary blade sharpening. She
had found a device that would allow the guild to provide this service. Funding for the sharpener will be determined
after the savings account access issue is learned. It will then be brought to the whole
membership, asking for interest and possible reviews of the product.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:45 a.m.
Minutes taken by Lynette Rose.

Sandra called the meeting to order and asked that there be
no side bars during the meeting.
Old Business- Nancy
Ford has the other pattern that we were supposed to do this year. She will pass it around and see if anyone has
an interest in the pattern. If 10 or
more ladies are interested, we can purchase the pattern for $ 12.
New Business- Cindy
Gregory said it appears that the Guild is leaning towards the calendar/table
runners. Cindy has a bunch of patterns
and suggested that we all bring in our patterns to compare and look at. The Board thanked Marilyn Gampel for
volunteering to run Programs next year.
Eileen Suderman volunteered to assist Marilyn.
Carol Anderson has questions about this year’s project. Who is going to take the lead in finishing up
our quilts???? Kathryn and Holly will be
teaching next month’s flying geese row.
After that, it is a matter of putting the entire project together. Susannah suggested that we all be available
to help.
September is our Anniversary and Demo month. There will be no working on our quilt that
month.
Carol Anderson volunteered to teach set-in triangles for log
cabin black. Sandra volunteered to help.
Some ideas were talked about for Demo Month. For example: How to properly make a quilt
label. Sandra will ask members next
month for volunteers to teach something.

Sandra Philbrick called the board meeting to order at 11:15
am. Attendees were:
Shelly Miller, Nancy
Ford, Holly Plugge, Susannah Faith, Cindy Gregory, Rosie Dorsey, Kathryn, Carol
Anderson and Sandra Philbrick
First item of
business- First Aid- Sandra suggested we have a first aid kit
available for members with the address of where we hold Gilld. She purchased one on Amazon for $24.95. The board agreed to reimburse her for the
kit.
Second item of
business- Room set-up and
take-down- Rosie Dorsey suggested that
each “Pod” of ladies be responsible for their own table set-up and
take-down. Susannah Faith said that
might not work because some ladies were not capable of doing it by
themselves. It was suggested that if no
one has signed up for set up or take down on any month, then each member might
have to do their own station.
Third item of
business- Carol Anderson has already
found a replacement for Treasurer next year.
She suggested that we start searching for people to take over our jobs
next year.
Fourth item of
business - Programs- As always, programs is always a
challenge. Thru group ideas, we will
start asking the ladies what they would like to see for next year. Cindy Gregory agreed to be scribe in July
with a flip chart. Members can suggest
items, and we can get an idea of how many are interested in those suggestions.
Sandra Philbrick called a dismissal of the board meeting at
