General Membership Meeting
November 8 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
Join us for our General Membership Meeting on Saturday, November 8th, 9:30AM to approximately 1:00PM. The meeting will be at the Live Oak Grange, 120 Gardiner Street, Rogue River, OR. We welcome anyone with an interest in quilts in all their forms and at all skill levels.
9:00 – Sign-In Table opens where you can:
- Pick up your ticket for door prizes
- Enter the emoticon drawing (look for it in the current newsletter)
- Get a ticket for each “Warm & Cozy Flannel” fat quarter you turn in – they can be any color or pattern
- Pick up a copy of the latest newsletter, meeting agenda, and Treasurer’s reports
Just past the Sign-In Table is the Block Party display. Turn in your “ Mr. Holiday Turkey” appliqué blocks and/or your pieced blocks that were presented at the September meeting. Across the room is the Quilts of Valor display where you can turn in blocks or quilts you made (just remember to put your name on each QOV item). You can also pick up a pattern or kit for the next QOV project.
At the back of the room is the Opportunity Quilt display where you can buy your tickets if you haven’t already done so. And next to that is the MEG (Machine Embroidery Group) table where you can get information about the group and their upcoming monthly meetings.
9:30 – Early Bird Class. Debbie Wheeler will be demonstrating paper piecing.
10:45 – Lunch is served. Lunch will be a baked potato bar (yum!) provided by MSQG. But you’re welcome to bring snacks or special desserts. As always, regular and decaf coffee will be available plus hot water and tea bags for those who prefer that.
11:15 – Business Meeting begins. It includes presentations from the Board and Committee Chairs plus drawings for door prizes, emoticon, fat quarters, and Block Party.
12:00 (approx.) – Speaker/Presentation will be a Patty Fried Trunk Show .
12:45 (approx.) – Show and Tell. This will immediately follow the Speaker Presentation. Bring your latest creations to show to the group and remember to state your name when you come up on the stage so we can give you credit when we post the photos of your quilt on the website under Show & Tell.
At the conclusion of the meeting we ask that you help put away the tables and chairs.
