October 4 meeting: Patti will show us how to weave a pine needle basket. She will furnish the supplies.

NEW BUSINESS

October Fall Weave: Nantucket bell – FINAL sign-up is June 7^th. Ladies, that's the very next meeting and the last meeting before summer break! Mark Henderson will instruct. He has offered to cut and taper spokes at a cost of $15, or save $5 and do your own tapering. Mark will furnish the spokes, mold, bell, cherrywood top and rim. JoAnn is checking on the dates of October 6, 13, or 20.

Dawn made a motion to increase our dues to $25 as long as we have a minimum of twenty members (presently, the guild has twenty-one members). Geri seconded the motion. Dues MUST be collected at the September/October meetings.

Betty B. will now have the guild's library of patterns, which are available with an advance request. The library will be brought in at the June 7^th meeting. You may check out patterns over our summer break, but they need to be returned at the September 6^th meeting.

Motion was made to adjourn the meeting by Patti with Sue seconding that motion.

Meeting was adjourned @ 6:40 p.m.

Thanks to the following ladies who brought in numerous baskets to show and tell:

Judy & Stephanie (back from convention), Krista, JoAnn, Patti, Barbara, Sharon,and Dawn W.  Wow, masterpieces, all of them!

Happy weaving, see you next month!
