June 7, 2018 Meeting Minutes

Meeting was called to order by Krista, president @ 6:12 p.m.
Attendance was taken by Geri, sixteen members were present.

May minutes were approved.

At our September meeting the annual dues will be collected. They will now be $25/year.

FALL WEAVE: October 6 or 13 (dates pending) will be our Saturday fall all-day weave. Guests with knowledge of weaving may participate, but must pay an additional $10 or join the Guild for $25. Both the Mockingbird Nantucket Bell and Mockingbird Business Card Basket will be taught by Mark Henderson. Mark will furnish the spokes, mold, bell, cherrywood top and rim. You may choose either or both, each are $15. JoAnn will collect at the October meeting or the day of the weave. Sign up by July 1 by emailing Krista.

September 6: Pat H. will lead in making a small market deco basket that has one high side for displaying plants. I have not been contacted by Pat, but she will email what size handle we will need and materials needed well before the meeting.

October 4 meeting: Patti will show us how to weave a pine needle basket. She will furnish the pine needles and straws. You will need to bring a darning needle and rafia.

November / December: Krista, Nesting Basket

NEW BUSINESS

Betty B. has the guild's library of patterns, which are available with an advance request. You may check out patterns and molds through her.

Barb mentioned that reed prices are rising...just like everything else, except our income.

By September/October we need to have the remainder of our year's weaves scheduled. We need January-June 2019 established. Please consider instructing one of those months.

Patti will rewrite our By-Laws, which we all will review in September and vote on in October.

Motion was made to adjourn the meeting by JoAnn with Patti seconding that motion. Meeting was adjourned @ 6:45 p.m. The remainder of the night we enjoyed potluck and talked about caning rocks.


Happy weaving, see you in September!
