PRESIDENT S LETTER Our ND summers are short and glorious. I hope you re soaking up and wringing out every opportunity for fun and adventure. I m sure, like me, many of you allow other priorities to take precedence over quilting during the summer - like picnics, pools, and patio parties! Let s also take advantage of the extra hours of sunlight to make progress on finishing our UFO s. The Quiltfest quilt show is just around the corner. Join me in using the goal date of October 1 to have your quilt show entries completed. Yikes, that s only 57 days from our regular August meeting. Better adjust my priorities and put those quilting projects on the FRONT burner. Hope to see you all in August at both Capital A fair and our guild workshop & meeting.

President Shelly encouraged the wearing of name tags and will reinstate fine for not wearing one! Gloria Schlosser approached the Education Committee to ask that group to take over the administering of the UFO Challenge. They agreed and Sandi Bates will head up that effort. End of Year Committee reports should be sent to either Shelly Doyle or Evelyn Buchfink and they will be published in the Newsletter. Edie Scherr brought to our attention the Row by Row Experience is happening at 13 shops in ND this year and many shops around the country. The theme is Music.

A friendly reminder to guild members to wear their name tags at our meetings. The guild warmly welcomes our newest members. Wearing name tags will help them get to know us, and help us get to know them. This is one case in which you DO want to share your PII, personally identifiable information!
