May Meeting
May brings the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and a slate of officers for the 2008-2009 executive. Refreshments will be served. More info to come about the evening's proceedings. In addition, the guild will be having a sewing room sale giving members the opportunity to buy and sell their fabric and sewing-related supplies, patterns, magazines, and embellishments. Tables can be booked for $15 full, or $7.50 half table. You can also donate to the Guild table - proceeds will go to support our charitable work. Please contact Carole Carpenter. And don't forget your TGIF entries- come early and take them to Susan Walker-Kenndy for display. Now, everyone say out loud.. "Thank God it's FINISHED!!"
