May 6, 2021 Meeting Minutes

Meeting was called to order by Denise, president, at 6:02 p.m.
12 Members were present.
Last month's meeting minutes were approved.

Welcomed our visitor for the evening, Mary.

Diane Gliexner will be our instructor for our Fall Weave on September 11 from 9:00-4:00. JoAnn had pictures of basket choices to work on and we all signed up for the one(s) we wanted to weave. Money is due by the September meeting to JoAnn, please make checks out to Diane.

It was decided to weave Ann's Oval Antler Basket (pattern by Basket Bees) for the electricity bases (5x9 oval slotted) that will be done over the summer at $10.00 per base. See Peggy regarding this October weave no later than our next meeting in June.

Peggy will lead our June meeting on teaching us how to make braided leather handles. There is a fee of $5 each for the leather to Peggy as she will furnish the supplies. You will need to bring a sharp scissors. In addition to our June Meeting, there will be the election of officers. Denise volunteered to remain as president and Ann volunteered to remain as treasurer, but we do need to vote for Vice President and Secretary. Please attend for this important vote!!!

Sign-up sheets for recruiting instructors JoAnn has volunteered to handle. We need sign-ups for every meeting/weave for setting up and cleanng up.

Starting in September, our meetings will be held on Saturdays at 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. If a holiday falls on that weekend, the meeting will be held on the following Saturday.
