Meetings

Actually - a PARTY not a meeting - but we want to see people pop in and say HI!!!!!

There haven't been any meetings, BUT we have been meeting in Fabric Stash again!!

Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter - and real life has taken over for most it seems - but keep an eye on the Parties link on our main page for more gatherings in the Fabric Stash chat site!!!

Claudia/ND - President, Needles/OK - Vice President, quiltDonalyn /CTFL - secretary/treasurer, Magicat/ONT/CA - SSS, PurpleCathy/CO-Membership, EB/GA, Kay/WA, JO/IN, JanW/PA, Lily/TX, BJ, Margie/ARK, pjDon/PA, lostberrypicker/MI

Claudia opened the meeting asking for a motion of the secretary’s minute’s report as posted on the website, motion was made by Needles and seconded by PJ. Motion was passed.

QuiltDonalyn gave the treasurers report and a motion was asked and made by Needles and seconded by PJ. Motion was passed. Treasurer’s report is also on the website.

Purple Cathy asked about the new list being formed for the roster. quiltDonalyn said a new mass emailing list is being prepared and as soon as Cathy has letter to attach she will mass email.

SSS Report - 8 SSS’s this year and so far no problems on the report from Magicat our new SSS Mom.

Party report was given by Needles for the Party to be held on Jan 26th at 8pm(CST) in chat. Theme is Welcome to the New Year, what are your plans for the year. Door prizes will be given to those who attend by quiltDonalyn.

Smoky was not present due to work, but she asked that everyone please get stories, photos and reports to her so she can update the website and start the new newsletter.

Charity report - Needles states she still has some quilts to donate that were left over from the Greensburg, KS project. At the same time we asked that all members of the guild, please contact Claudia/ND and quiltDonalyn with an update of fabric, batting, blocks, etc. that were sent out over the past three years. We need to update our inventory of supplies of the guild. Claudia will post to the Yahoo site the request that all contact her with inventory.

We are saddening by the loss of Penny/Spain. She was the newsletter editor for the guild for many years and it was decided that we would make two quilts for her grandsons. Purple Cathy will do one of these quilts and we are awaiting word on who does the other quilt.

We are asking that all members of the guild please send to Purple Cathy (address is on the roster) heart blocks, size unfinished 6 1/2”, with a tone on tone white or beige, any color heart, stitched, pieced or applique with our chat name, town/state and country and get them to her as soon as possible.

quiltDonalyn is attempting to get two guest speakers for May and again in Sept. As soon as this information is up she will post to Yahoo and website.

* DrBeth-MD has joined #Fabric-Stash_Chat
<Needles> Hi Beth
<ClaudiaND> I also need to see if there is a way to print out a roster without getting one address on a page.
<ClaudiaND> Hello Beth
<Kay-WA-treasurer> I am not home so I don't know at the moment but not very many. We need to spark interest in it somehow
<ClaudiaND> yes, I hope we can get some more chances sold Kay
<DrBeth-MD> hi there
<DrBeth-MD> sorry I've been out of town and didn't realize there was a meeting
<quiltDonalyn-SSS> we need to plug it to everyone and anyone,
<lostberrypicker> wow claudia I could print it and mail it to you
<ClaudiaND> any other board business ?
<ClaudiaND> Lost, or tell me how to print it......I get a million pages.
<quiltDonalyn-SSS> Antler drawing of blocks?
<quiltDonalyn-SSS> when will we be doing that?
<lostberrypicker> I have no idea what you are dong wrong
<ClaudiaND> oh yes, what about block drawings ?.
<butterflyBrenda> !
<ClaudiaND> I dont have enough block to draw.
<ClaudiaND> yes, BB ?
<butterflyBrenda> At the Christmas Party.
<quiltDonalyn-SSS> how many blocks have been done for all the antlers is the question
<ClaudiaND> do you have enough blocks for a lottery and charity quilts ?
<ClaudiaND> thanks QD
<butterflyBrenda> I have 13 blocks.
<butterflyBrenda> to give away.
<DrBeth-MD> I'm not sure how many I have off hand
<ClaudiaND> Why dont you Antlers get together and decide what you want to do with your blocks.
<ClaudiaND> I will send mine to Needles.
<quiltDonalyn-SSS> so maybe the past Antler's should contact each other and get a total and then decide on how many blocks will go out to a member
<butterflyBrenda> !
<ClaudiaND> and I still have some to mail to Beth.
<Needles> okay I will take them.
<DrBeth-MD> !
<ClaudiaND> yes, BB and Beth?
<butterflyBrenda> I think we still need to raffle them off. As that is what we promised.
<DrBeth-MD> we need to draw what we have as this was originally set up as charity/lotto no matter how many blocks there are in the pot so to speak
<butterflyBrenda> draw
<quiltDonalyn-SSS> the member can always say I won but you may have them
<DrBeth-MD> very true quiltDonalyn-SSS
<ClaudiaND> Yes, good idea....
<ClaudiaND> ok....I will let you Antlers decide on that.
<ClaudiaND> and how you want to do it.
<Needles> So therefore the blocks the antlers have now, there should be a drawing on them.
<ClaudiaND> Anything else ?
<DrBeth-MD> we need to all have everything ready for the party and then do the draw then...there's really nothing to decide
<quiltDonalyn-SSS> okay so at the Christmas Party will have SSS reveal, Secret Santa Chritsmas Ornaments and Lotto Block Drawing and Opportunity Quilt Drawing
<DrBeth-MD> when is the Christmas party going to be?
<butterflyBrenda> yes
<quiltDonalyn-SSS> Needles has already sent to Smoky what she wants for November
<ClaudiaND> Very Important Christmas party !!!
<quiltDonalyn-SSS> and I think we need to get a challenge and some more swaps going for the new year

QD asked for a motion to accept the minutes and the treasurer report from the Newsletter.

QD called for a vote to accept the minutes and the treasurers report. 7 aye votes, no nay votes.

Needles reported “Yes our spook party will begin at 8:30 p. m. in the chat room and last until we all get tired. I would like for everyone to come in costume, if we guess who you are you will win a prize. Lots of goodies at the party , so lets all show up and have some fun. the 28th this coming Saturday. Eye balls are in this season for an appetizer. .............hehehhe”

Lost reported “We have a new member to the group. Kathie Zulaski from Tacoma WA . Group please welcome her. Kathie we look forward to getting to know you and hope you enjoy our group. End of Report”

QD then informed the membership that “Newsletter Report is in the Board Area of October Newsletter, Smoky is working on Tuesday's evenings so she wanted everyone to remember to send in reports, photos of quilts and all relating to Halloween and Thanksgiving and also any family, pets, etc and recipes”

QD then reported “Warm Hearts, Birthdays and Anniversaries and SSS programs are up and running fine, I know that Terry has sent a few get well cards this month and that the SSS program is winding down for the year”

QD then moved on to Old Business. “Old business, I was hoping the nominating committee would be here, but seems Dottie and Sarah are busy tonight. The nominating committee posted the slate of officers and we finally did get the site for voting up and running. Out of about 250 members we had a response of 36 bouncing emails, one person asked to be removed from the roster and a total of 77 yes votes for the new slate. There were no no votes received and no abstains. So I want to say thank you very much to our nominating committee for doing a great job, to Smoky for setting up the web site and for Lost for providing the updated Roster.”

QD then moved on to the Opportunity Quilt. “Opportunity quilt, only 5 weeks left for your chances on the Opportunity Quilt, I understand from Kay she is receiving monies for this quilt. Get you chances into her by Dec 13th . Cost of chances are $5.00 for one or 6 for $25.00. The quilt will be won on Dec 16th at the Christmas Party”

QD then moved on to Secret Santa “Secret Santa we have a total of a dozen ladies sending Secret Santa Christmas Ornaments”

QD then moved on to another topic. “At the last meeting we thanked LS for her lovely donation of the Alzheimer's Quilts. Since we had Ami Simms for our guest lecturer we have been thinking if everyone could make at least one lap quilt and then give it from RPLOTN to an Assisted Living Residents for Alzheimer's. What does everyone think?”

Claudia asked “Do we give to our own areas?.......or is there somewhere we send them ?”

QD replied “I say we give in our own areas, with a letter from RPLOTN and make sure it has the RPLOTN Quilt Label attached to the quilt”

QD replied “I will make copies of the letter and send them to those that have quilts to donate. I will also make labels and send those too.”

QD then said “Well I want to thank everyone here and through out the guild in letting me President these past 2+ years. It has been a very rewarding job and I have learned so much. I want to thank all the board members that have severed with me these past two years and just give every one a real big ((((((((((())))))))))))).”

QD then said “I now turn this meeting over to your New President, Ms. Claudia/ND”

Claudia/ND then said “Well.....this is really an honor for me........Thank you for all who voted . and thank you for all the faithful members of the RPLOTN !!” I am very nervous ........scared to death !!.......but I will try to follow in QD's footsteps and keep us going and quilting.”

Then conversation followed as the date for the next meeting was discussed. It was decided that the board would meet soon and set a date for the next general membership meeting.

<quiltDonalyn-President> My term will be over in Nov along with Needles. Michelle may stay on as secretary, Kay has one more year as Treasurer, lost and Polly have one more year as membership, you have one more year as Birthday, Brenda has one more year as SSS and Terry has eternity for Warm Hearts and the antlers can either stay on or be elected
<Kay-WA-treasurer> I thought my term would be up also
<quiltDonalyn-President> no treasure is three years
<quiltDonalyn-President> one more to go Kay
<Kay-WA-treasurer> for some reason I thought it was 2
<lostberrypicker> I thought we were elected for one year..no one told me I was here for two...I thought if I wanted I could be reelected but not that the term was two
<quiltDonalyn-President> It seems it was to much of a deal in doing a new treasurer every two years, change
<quiltDonalyn-President> you are right lost, your name would be on the nomination ballot for a second time around, but just letting you know you do have another year if you decide to stay in position
<quiltDonalyn-President> just like kays, and pollys and the rest, except Needles and me. Not on nomination roster this time around
<quiltDonalyn-President> unless we want to do something else for the guild
<Needles-Vice_President> No office for me this time thank you.
<quiltDonalyn-President> so I need at least three volunteers to be involved with membership in nominations
<quiltDonalyn-President> does anyone here have suggestions who we might ask
<quiltDonalyn-President> EB weren't you on the committee last year?
<quiltDonalyn-President> memory is fading
<auntie-em> I can think of some names, but I'm not sure about their willingness
<auntie-em> like margie/ark, little one or whatever anne calls herself,
<quiltDonalyn-President> you do come to meetings, and you do read the posts Auntie Em, so why don't you find a couple of others to help you in the process and submit to us in August
<quiltDonalyn-President> I think it would be an easy job in doing the nomination committee. just get a few names and submit to membership
<quiltDonalyn-President> Will everyone let me know who you would like to see on the nomination committee soon. Then they can start the hunt
<quiltDonalyn-President> Okay last item is I would like to suggest that no meeting be held in July, it is summer, people are on vacation or just busy with fun stuff.
<Glenda-AZ> Pls let us know what positions definitely have to filled
<Glenda-AZ> Those positions that are not eligible for re-election
<quiltDonalyn-President> definitely President and Vice President, the other officers do have at least one more year, but it is their perogative to let us know if they wish to continue
<quiltDonalyn-President> Do I have a motion about the July meeting
<Claudia> oh.just wanted to say that I will do Antler for another year.
<Claudia> we need all the blocks we can get...LOL.....so then we will make charity quilts for those in need in the area...instead of one person doing all the charity blocks.
<quiltDonalyn-President> thank you Claudia
<Claudia> the Antlers are persons in a section of the country and Canada....who are trying to gather charity blocks and make quilts.
<Needles-Vice_President> I make a motion that we have no meeting in July.
<Kay-WA-treasurer> I second the motion

<quiltDonalyn-President> Okay the next meeting will be on August 8th
<quiltDonalyn-President> Also the next party will be on August 19th
<Claudia> I would just like to put the word out that all the Antlers need blocks, if any of you can make some blocks to send us , it will be greatly appreciated.
<Claudia> Thanks.
<quiltDonalyn-President> Okay the last item. Tomorrow night Lecture with Carol Miller is at 9PM(EDT), 8PM(CDT), 7PM(MDT) and 6PM(PDT), I hope I see everyone here. She is a nice person, I met her at Houston this past fall and she will give us details about Quilt University. So everyone, please show support tomorrow night
<quiltDonalyn-President> Any other business to discuss?
<quiltDonalyn-President> do I have a motion to adjourn?
<auntie-em> so move
<Glenda-AZ> Second
<quiltDonalyn-President> motion carries
<Needles-Vice_President> Good meetin qD.
<quiltDonalyn-President> thank you ladies, see you all in August at the next meeting, but definitely tomorrow evening

There was a computer glitch in the recording of the log, so this is from what is remembered by our president, qD.

We did approve the board reports. We confirmed ButterflyBrenda as new SSS Coordinator. We spoke about the party on May 13th, the opportunity quilt to be drawn on May 13th at the party and that the next meeting would be scheduled at a later date. Brown Bag Challenge was discussed, no new or old business, short and sweet.

We apologize for the error, but luckily it was a very brief uncomplicated meeting.

Smoky notes that an email came thru regarding Red, White and Blue blocks as discussed in the Agenda, but that has been put aside for now as there are a lot of projects on the go in RPLOTN. Also, there has been no response to her regarding the Dear Jane project except for one person this week (June 8th), and nothing happening with the Postcard project.

Glenda/AZ reported that "Have 3 dozen Comfort Pillows going out next week...to local hospital. Used blocks for them"

Lostberrypicker reported "We have two new members. The new members are Patricia O'Conner and Gayle DeForest. There are also three others who have contacted me about joining and I am waiting to hear they have joined." "There have been a lot of updates to the roster and I am asking that anyone who would like another updated one to please let me know at lostberrypicker@gmail.com. Rather then sending a bulk email out to everyone and only having them go to members spam or bulk folders it would be better to contact me and ask for one. And please be sure to add my email address to your address book. It is very similar to my old one but not quite"

Call Meeting to Order Motion for all reports on website and in Newsletter to be accepted. No old Business New Business Brown Bag Challenge March Party Lostberrypicker - project regarding Colleen Opportunity Quilt - Mother's Day Opportunity Any other business Adjournment of meeting

qD called for a motion to accept the minutes from the last meeting that are posted on the website.

qD asked if there were any questions, there were none, so she called for the aye votes.

Kay-WA-treasurer> I have received $55.00 for the Opp quilt and sent to the bank, I received another check and am waiting on one more.

Then Smoky said "reports are also on the web site, so could we dispense with giving reports and ask if there are questions to each of the reports instead? And then vote to accept reports are presented after questions are answered?"

qD then stated "okay sounds good to me. Can I have a motion to accept the treasurers report and all reports on the web site and in the newsletter please"

qD asked if there were any questions. There were none, so she asked for the aye votes. There were 13 aye votes, 17 members present.

qD then moved on to the next topic. "Okay Ladies, now is the time to accept the nomination of Michelle/CA as our secretary, the board has approved her and we need the membership to do so. May I have a motion for Michelle"

qD asked for questions, there were none. qD called for the aye votes. 14 ayes, 17 members present.

Needles then reported "We will have a sweetheart party on the 18th of the month. Party time at 8:30 p.m. CST going until whenever. There will be door prizes so come and have some fun.

If any one wants to donate for the door prizes either contact me or qD. Thank you. End of report."

qD then stated "Thank you Needles and I have had some already contact me about donating door prizes"

Lost reported "As of today we now have 123 who have verified their information with us and another 7 have rejoin and we have one new member this past month. That is a total of 131 members we have heard from. End of report"

Dr. Beth gave this report for the Antlers "The Antlers are still hard at work trying to collect donations, please contact your local Antler for any supplies you may need to make a charity quilt to donate in the name of RPLOTN. Soon we hope to have a stash of batting, and fabric as well as "kits" put together for quick and easy charity quilts. We are also all in desperate need of Hobbs UPC codes in order to purchase batting for charity quilts. Please, please, please send those empty Hobbs packages to your local Antler so that she can buy batting. We need your help to make more charity quilts. Do you happen to have orphan blocks sitting around that you will never get around to putting into a quilt? Please package up your orphan blocks and UFOs (that you don't want or need anymore) and send them to your local Antler to put into a charity quilt that will help someone in need feel warm, safe and loved! The Antlers need your support!! If you have suggestions please feel free to contact any of us at any time. We are here to help :) And finally, we have discussed the charity/lotto block program and decided to extend all of the Antler blocks throughout the year. Please take a look at the Charity page to see each Antler's block selection. You can send as many sets of blocks to as many of the Antlers as you'd like. Each set (one block for charity and one block for the lotto) will consist of 2 blocks of the same pattern (they can be different fabrics) and will earn you" "Please support your charity program in any way you can!!! We look forward to a very charitable year!! End of report"

qD then stated "Thank you Beth and thank you Claudia, Brenda, Willo and Sara(Wendy) you guys have done a fantastic job so far. Brenda how many blocks have you received so far, Beth how many have you received so far?"

Dr. Beth stated "I have received 6 sets so far and I have been told there are more on the way as well"

qD then stated "that is correct all information must be in roster so it can be verified in voting rights"

Glenda reported "15 Happy Birthday e cards and posting on F/S BB made for month of January. Will you please send personal e cards when you see a Cyber-Buddy on the list? To be remembered is always nice. End of report"

qD then reported "QC is not here this evening, but the SSS program is up and running, if you want to join then please contact QC, she is looking for a couple more people to sign up to match with some who don't have SSS's yet."

qD also reported "GAquiltr has been sending out Warm Hearts to those in need, please let her know if someone needs the Hearts from us"

qD then reported that she has eight people signed up for the swap, and that she has already received some blocks. qD then asked who would like to run the next swap. Polly/TX said that she would do the next swap. qD told her to write up what type of swap she wants to do and to send it to Smoky for the Newsletter.

qD stated "Opportunity Quilt is still available for $5.00 per chance or $25.00 for 6 chances. Get your money into Kay as soon as possible"

Kay/WA then asked "When do I have the drawing for the quilt? And how do I let people know?"

Smoky was then called on to ask "How do we know if our ticket made it in the drawing? Can we post who is in the drawing?"

Smoky was then called on with a question "How do we know if our ticket made it in the draw?"

qD then suggested "Kay can you email those who have sent in money to let them know that they are in the draw?"

Smoky then pointed out that those whose tickets had not made it to Kay would not know if they were in the drawing or not, so she suggested that a list be posted of all who had tickets in the drawing.

It was decided that Kay would have a young quilter draw the winner on the night of the RPLOTN Valentines Party. At this point in the meeting, Needles requested to leave due to a bad headache.

Following Needles departure, qD stated "The newsletter has two of the opportunity quilts in it. The small one is a crib size and I would like the membership vote to have it sent to LH/MO for her first quilt show for a church in her area that is raffling off quilts and such. She has been a good member and since this is her first quilt show that she is managing and it is going to a good cause, I would hope you all agree"

Smoky moved to donate a quilt to LH’s quilt show, and Dr. BethMD seconded the motion. The motion passed with 9 for it and none against it.

qD gave Smoky the floor to discuss something for the website. Smoky wants to showcase members businesses on the website. Smoky asked "Do we want to allow advertising of our members businesses?" A discussion followed. Kay-WA said "I think we should keep it to members only". qD said "Yes, members only". Smoky said "I still won’t add cookies or pop ups". Dr. Beth said "I don’t think we should charge members, it should be a perk of membership." It was decided that due to copyright laws and infringement issues that Smoky would put up a listing of links to members websites that have things to sell. Smoky made the motion to accept this decision and Dr. BethMD seconded the motion. 12 aye votes, no nays, motion passes.

qD said "one last item. I will be posting to all sites tomorrow or Thursday. We will be having a guest lecturer, actually questions and answers by Miss Diane. She is a member of RPLOTN and does dyeing of fabric. It will either be Feb 14th, 15, or 22 or 23 time will be at 8:30pm. So be on the lookout for our first lecture series. This is CST, so that those on the West Coast get a chance to attend also. It was asked if a log could be posted of the lecture, and it was said that it could be posted on the website, but only with the permission of the lecturer."

qD then asked for a motion to adjourn the meeting, Dr. BethMD made the motion and Polly/Tx seconded the motion for the meeting to adjourn. Motion carries with 10 votes.

At the last second, Smoky asked for suggestions of names for the new web page listing the businesses, and qD suggested having a contest in the newsletter, and Smoky agreed.

Thanks to all for proving that we have a reason for being here. Polly commented: Thanks Lost...you're doing most of the work and very well, I might add. qD commented: Yes, both of you are doing a great job and I thank you, too, Ladies, I do want to apologize for sending out duplicate and posting duplicates, but I found a list of emails that somehow got misdirected Smoky commented: may I express my thank you to lost for taking on a responsible position so soon and to Polly too for continued support Wendy has joined the meeting qD asked: We will be getting a new update on the roster Lost? I know that Kay and QC will need an update real soon Lostberrypicker stated: I think we should wait till the end of the month for more updates. Then I will send a roster out however, if someone wants one sooner please let me know. It was agreed that we should post a welcome back page on the RPLOTN web site and can we encourage a "what are we doing now" blurb from people for that page? Dachsie has joined the meeting Smoky commented that 70 active members is a great start for the new year. Smoky gave the following report on the Trading Card Quilt and Newsletter: trading card quilt - still needs work for details - will get to it shortly. You can get the opportunity page and the opportunity quilt is linked thru the side bar of the main page - no need to type more than www.rplotn.com and I am looking for people to help create the pages for the newsletter. QC has volunteered to help Smoky with the newsletter Willo has joined the meeting qD reported that GaQuilter's Warm Heart report is in the newsletter as she could not be here tonight. Glenda gave a Birthday and Anniversary report as follows: 25 cards sent...only 8 were picked up....2 relies rec'd here....will continue to use F/S RPLOTN Board for those who cannot get theirs...The Happy Birthday Wishes are as warm there and anywhere....and suggested it might be nice if members who read the BB would send a e mail to the Birthday Girl qD suggested we post to the website that let's everyone know that they are angelwink cards and that must accept them Willo wished to thank everyone for the heart blocks that were sent her way. She is I making a cushion from them QC gave a report on the SSS program: I have had 7 people sign up and 1 wants to, but is not a member of the guild. It has only been active 12 days qD commented: I think we need to make SSS big and also when we send out the new roster we should include join SSS. I think that way more will sign up. QC stated that the lady who did it in the past said she had people join off and on during the year. But that everyone would be finishing at Christmas. qD suggested we can send out a mass email to everyone on the Roster ask if they would like to be a SSS. Quilt Crazy said she would do it when the new roster is out and said she would take any one that is a member of the guild anytime of the year and when there is enough people will assign SSS's. Old Business was discussed: qD reported: Amnesty questions has been posted by a member on the FS BB, and the answer is yes it was voted by membership at the November meeting, you can see the log on the November Newsletter qD also reported: Regarding the $500.00 to Antler's the board thought that it would be advisable since we would automatically send $100.00 petty cash to one Antler, and since these ladies are all over the USA and Canada we went ahead a did it. We also forgot to take the vote on this item at the Nov meeting, something must have gotten in the way and we forgot. Plain and simple. QC made a motion we pay each Antler $100 petty cash according to the by laws to be given to Charity upon the start of each new year. Willo seconded the motion. Discussion followed Smoky commented that it was a good idea and the only way we can afford to send stuff out. qD called for a vote on the motion. Motion carried qD then discussed the Opportunity Quilt mentioned on the website. Kay-WA has joined the meeting qD stated: We have also made up a stub for information to be sent to Kay when sending in for chances to win this quilt. The blocks were made by Annie, Peggy/TX, LS, JO, and others, I put the top together measuring 76 1/2" x 88 1/2" and machined quilted by TY/TX and bound by me. The chances have to be at Kay's no later than February 10th, drawing will be February 14th at Kay's discretion. The cost is 6 chances for $25.00 or $5.00 for 1, this was voted on last month by membership. Also you don't have to be a member to take a chance, offer chances to neighbors, sisters, mothers, aunts, uncles, DH or anyone, as long a check is made payable to RPLOTN. We do have an EIN so we are safe. Let's see how much we can make on this quilt, we also have two other quilts, one is an oversize lap quilt which we will do in May for Mother's day and the other is a crib size quilt. Glenda stated that the stub prints off real easy. Smoky commented that we needed to make a note on the site that it is US dollars. Claudia gave the following Charity\Comfort Report: So far the Antlers have been kind of quiet. I am hoping now after the new year we will be getting started on our projects. We are going to get together for a meeting soon. I think Beth has the info the Jan lotto block, I think she was sending it to the site or newsletter. I am working on a quilt for a family here in Harwood from Liberia, this was a case in which I wished I had a couple quilts done. So that is what I am working on. thanks. qD thanked Claudia and suggested if anyone has anything for this family let Claudia know, they are just starting out with nothing Smoky suggested: If there are other charity quilts ready from others, then they could send them to Claudia for this family just need to ask. And Claudia said she would put the word out if she needed to. Glenda suggested Since Antlers is so new...may I suggest we have an article written up explaining how Antlers is to work.... And it was suggested that this could be the lead story for the February Newsletter with bio's for the antlers. qD gave the following report on the Lotto Blocks: Okay Lotto Block for this month is to be sent to Beth, it is under Lotto Block, drawing of winner of Lotto Blocks will be at the next meeting. qD: Please sign up for the Swap of 9patch and snowball blocks, I have a total of 6 so far signed up and as soon as I know how many sign up by Jan 30th I will let all know how many blocks to make and send to me. Instructions will be updated on the web site with in the next few days. New Business qD reported: It has been brought to my attention that when someone has lost a loved one or has a birthday, but doesn't want it to be published, we should be able to let them know. So I would like to suggest that we allow GaQuiltr and Glenda to purchase a box of cards and stamps and be reimbursed by the guild for said items. Smoky made a motion to allow GaQuiltr and Glenda to purchase a box of cards and stamps and be reimbursed for these items. Polly seconded the motion. Discussion followed. Motion carried. Smoky thanked Willo for all her work in tracking down a lost quilt. We now know where it is but is unable to get it back. It was from a round robin in 1998. The person involved is no longer a member therefore we don't see this happening again. Needles commented: I would like to say to all who have come back and to all of our new members that have join. We want this to be the best yr. that RPLOTN has ever had. Any thing in the past is in the past. Lets continue to do our best for RPLOTN Guild. qD commented: Ladies please keep an eye on the RPLOTN ONLINE QUILT GUILD YAHOO SITE AND FS BB SITES, something good will be happening soon, as soon as I firm up the dates. Hopefully we will be having a couple of guest speakers in the next few weeks. Sew and So asked how to join the RPLOTN Online Quilt Guild Yahoo Site and was told the instructions are on www.rplotn.com. Willo made a motion we adjourn. Smoky seconded the motion Meeting adjourned

<Claudia-ND> Maybe Beth wrote it down right.... LOL...I won’t swear by my notes.

<quiltDonalyn-President> Actually you will be sending the blocks to me, I will sort and send to each participant. The idea behind this, is charity quilts. Each person will have a quilt for charity

<quiltDonalyn-President> The size of this quilt will be posted also. We need to decide on how much to charge for this opportunity quilt. The last time we did this the cost was $3.00, I think this quilt will be a very large one, so therefore think we should charge $5.00, Chances are to be sent to Kay/WA our wonderful treasurer

<quiltDonalyn-President> The opportunity quilt is a snowball and nine patches done by members in 2003, I put the top together and Ty/TX quilted and bound it

<quiltDonalyn-President> it is all Auntie Grace Fabrics
