Newsletter - Kathy Gill - Kathy asked the group if anyone actually read the newsletter as there was a request made in it. Several ladies stated they had read it, but had forgotten to bring what was requested. It was decided to table the issue for the next meeting hoping everyone reads the newsletter and accommodates the request made in it--there will be a prize! Kathy handed out a survey to determine what the group would like to see in the newsletter.

Mona mentioned she would take the baby quilts that are finished over to Bridgeway to be handed out prior to Christmas. Toni asked if they were in need of oldish novelty print fabrics for more quilts. It was determined we have enough.
