September 5 Meeting

On a personal note.....


  • Ginny Longee celebrated her 80th birthday. She shared a need for meals to be dropped at the Family Veterinary Clinic. 
  •  Anne Stuart has a juried show at Sloan’s Lake Sept. 14 and 15.
Harvest Boutique:
  • The boutique will be on November 7.
  • Mary Michele passed around the relevant sign-up sheets for the boutique. Please bring food ready to serve so that we can minimize usage of ovens, prep space, etc
    • Please list what you would like to bring so that we may have a variety of foods and beverages.
    • Tablecloths are also needed
    • Dianne Sievers shared “Buy it Now” forms. These and regular bid forms will be sent by Pam via email so that your form can accompany your items.
    • The "Buy it Now" option is new this year. If you are donating a food item, please fill in the item's value on this form so that someone may buy it without bidding. You may also use this option for other small items of your choosing.
      • It was suggested that we have a cashier on hand to take care of "Buy it Now" items on a timely basis.
      •  "Buy it Now" and regular auction bid forms will be emailed to the membership so that each sister may print the appropriate form for each item donated.
      • Completing the forms in advance helps the organizers in a big way
    • Jean Kelly thankfully caught the error on the Save the Date cards, which read November 2 rather than the 7th. 
      • If you sent a card to someone, please inform her of the correct date.
    • Invitations for emailing will be available soon, and invitations to mail will be shared at the first October meeting.
    • Items may be brought to both October meetings. Cindy Bose and Dianne Sievers will be happy to collect them. Closer to November 7, items will need to be taken to Marcie Taylor’s home.
