October Minutes

Silver Creek Basket Guild Meeting Minutes October 1, 2015

Once we found a meeting place at the Ripon Public Library our meeting was called to order by Sue. It was a crazy short evening, but everyone was able to get a start.

The September Minutes were approved by Sue without changes.

Roll Call Attendance taken by Geri, Sr. Secretary.

Those present were: Sue, Denise, Barb B., Beth, Pat, Mary, Barb J., Sharon, Geri, JoAnn, Stephanie, Judy, Karen, Patti, Dawn, and Ann.

Annual Dues were due last month [$15/person], for those whom haven’t yet paid, please pay Patti on October 10 at our all-day weave, or at the November 5^th meeting.

REMINDER

It was suggested/requested that a list of materials needed and the pattern be brought in at least a month before you lead a weave so the list can be posted to our blog. Copies for everyone to hand out at that month’s weave.

Need a basket leader for December’s meeting! Think about it please.

Geri made a motion to adjourn the meeting and Denise, Jr. Secretary, seconded the motion.

Meeting was adjourned by 6:30 p.m. as we had to check out of the library by 7:45 p.m.

For the remainder of the evening we worked on the beautiful, versatile “September” basket lead by Sharon. Thank you Sharon!
