Quilters by the Bay Guild Meeting Minutes - Wednesday May 27, 2009

We opened our meeting with a request for a volunteer to keep the calendar for our 2009 Raffle Quilt - "Golden Jewels".  
We had no volunteers.  This is an easy and important job and hope that someone will seriously consider taking over this 
job.  Please let one of the officers know if you would like to take this position.  We will be more than happy to help 
you and answer any questions.

Raffle Quilt ticket sales:  We have 560 tickets out.  Mardell has sold the most at 40 tickets and Kim sold 20.  Donna 
said we could store our raffle quilt at her store and asked for volunteers to sell tickets at her sale on June 6.  We 
had 4 volunteer to sell tickets.

Sharon Maes read over the proposed 2009-2010 budget.  The budget was unanimously approved as written by the guild members.  
We have a balance of $4,627.50 in the checking account and all bills are up to date. 

We had 9 guests visit our guild tonight - which was very exciting! - several of whom will be joining our guild in July

Happy Birthday to: Irene Failor, Jan LeBlanc, Dorothy Loveless, Shirley Lowman, Sharon Maes and Alice Tierney!
