Cashiers Quilters Business Meeting Highlights
Cashiers Quilters October 19, 2022
The Cashiers Quilters Annual Luncheon was held October 19, 2022 at Cedar Creek Club. Nineteen members and one guest attended. Although not a formal business meeting, the following actions occurred.
Joan thanked Lois for hostessing the luncheon and gave special thanks to Peggy, who has served as Treasurer over a number of years; and to Jodie for serving, as webmaster for the past two years. Joan also thanked all of the members who have taken notes at our business meetings; members who have taught classes to the other members; new members for joining; the members who have chaired our various projects; and the members who have participated in the projects. Everyone has contributed to this wonderful organization!
Considering that we did not have a quilt show this year, we have been especially busy with projects, including: making the 50-Star quilt and collaborating with the Cashiers Historical Society on its first Airing of the Quilts; making items to fill a gift basket that will be auctioned at the Summit Charter School Festival of the Trees; creating flannel lap blankets to be donated to the Cashiers Senior Center for distribution to area seniors and shut-ins; and starting a sewing class for children after school at the Boys and Girls Club of the Plateau (BGCP). Unfortunately, this last endeavor has been suspended to allow the BGCP management and staff to reevaluate its use of space.
In conjunction with the donation of lap blankets to the Cashiers Senior Center, we voted to donate $500.00 to be used for the seniors' and shut-ins' material needs.
Joan distributed Cashiers Quilters pins to the new members who attended, Anne, Sharon and Virginia.
Members' entries in our “fat quarter challenge” were displayed and voted on by those present. Shirley won with her very creative “Quilt Diva” quilt, which may be viewed on our Facebook page.
Maggie showed a quilt top that she made (from materials she had from Graceanne's studio) while she was quarantined with Covid.
Joan thanked everyone for supporting her while she served as Chair and passed on her scepter and whistle to Jean, who now assumes leadership of our group. Jean presented Joan with a thank-you card and a very generous gift card to Hobby Lobby from the group.
The next business meeting will be in May 2023.
