October 1st Minutes

Pat called meeting to order and asked us to remember to pay dues of $15.00 if not done already. Also thanked us for our basket or other donation to the church.

Sue showed a heart shaped basket, a twilled mitten basket, and a copper kitten??? With birch bark. She also reminded us of the all day weave on the 17th at the Ripon Library at 9 am. And asked those attending to please try to have the bottom of the basket completed before coming to facilitate our being able to finish the blessing basket in the time allowed.
