Sept 6th '12 minutes

Marty opened the meeting at 6:08 p.m.The treasury reports a balance of $360.42 at the present time. Stephanie was collecting dues of @15.00 from those of us in attendance. Those of you who didn't make it to the meeting, plan to bring your dues to the Oct. meeting as well as either a basket to give to the church or some other donated item or $. We need to be thankful to them for their letting us meet there.

Pat brought 3 guests (one was already a member tho not an active one. The other two have joined us as members) Look to greet Beth Duer and Pat Holbach of Waupun as well as re-greeting Laurie Blum of Fond du Lac. Also greet Joanne Norton of Princeton who joins us on the recommendation of her sister -in-law, Krista.
Marty asks for ideas for a basket we can make at the Fall All Day Weave which we have decided will be held on Nov.3rd. (probably at the Ripon Library tho more on that later). Bring ideas for a project to the Oct. meeting.

We had 14 members at the meeting. Ann Z had a lovely large bushel type basket for show and tell an Jo Ann had several sizes of the Sept braided side basket to show us. She took over the lead as Mary J had a conflict and could not be with us.

Sue A showed the "cracker basket" she will be leading at the Oct. meeting. It uses small handles which you will need to complete that basket so get in touch with her asap if you plan to attend in Oct. Sue is ordering the handles for all of us. Call or e-mail Sara if you need Sue's Phone #. You should have it on your old membership list.
Judy S will be leading in November. No idea as yet what that basket will be.

Sara should have new membership lists at the Oct. meeting which will show new names and several new e-mails and other corrections.
Meeting adjourned at 6:32 and all got started on our braid sided basket.
