General Membership Meeting – July 19, 2025

Join us for our General Membership Meeting on Saturday, July 19th, 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.

REMEMBER – It’s Membership Renewal Time!  If you haven’t already renewed, forms will be available at the Sign-In table. Dues are again $30 and you can pay by check, cash, or debit/credit card (but a $2 convenience fee will be added to all debit/credit card transactions).

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 “Brown or Beige” fat quarter you turn in. These can be solid or prints.
• Get a copy of the latest newsletter, the meeting agenda, and Treasurer’s report.

Just past the Sign-In Table is the Block Party display. Turn in your “Tulip” appliqué blocks and/or your “Wagon Tracks” pieced blocks that were presented at the May 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.

9:30 – No Early Bird Class. Instead it’s the annual Country Store/Garage Sale (our version of a tag sale) with all proceeds benefiting the guild. Donate any quilt related items you no longer want – fabric, notions, tools, etc. but please DO NOT bring yarn or magazines and most fabrics should be cotton.  All donated items are available for members to purchase!

10:45 – Lunch will be provided by the guild – a brown bag lunch. Meat eaters will enjoy a sub sandwich. Vegetarian and gluten-free options will be available for those who sign up for that. Lunch will also include a bag of chips and a cookie.

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.  (To be announced later.)

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 in the cupboard and all chairs on the east side of the room (opposite the Sign-In Table).

If you aren’t already a member of our guild and you’re interested in joining, we have information available at the Sign-In table.
