Tacoma Lakes Quilters met Wednesday for our first meeting of the new membership year 2017-2018. It was good to see old friends again and welcome a few new members. We have a couple of new officers this year, and we're looking forward to another great year of programs and activities.
Dues were collected, a budget was approved, Sherry conducted the mini raffle, funds were collected for Food for Thought, and we discussed the upcoming Area 4 meeting. We also held a brief discussion about our upcoming YARD SALE, which is September 23 at the Litchfield Sportsman's Club. We will continue with the NICU quilts as our charity project, for the third year in a row; and KathyB plans to create a challenge for us for Maine Quilts 2018.
DonnaW introduced a new Block of the Month program for this year. She and Margo will be specifying a size for the blocks each month, and perhaps a theme or color and each participant will make and keep her own block and assemble a small sampler by the end of the year.
There were quite a few projects for Show and Tell, and it was fun to see what members had been doing over the summer.
