NEW BUSINESS
Bonnie Evans proposed a “Breast Cancer Quilt Day” to be held September 30th. It is to be a quilting day nationally, where quilts are assembled with Breast Cancer fabric and auctioned off on E-Bay. Bonnie suggested we make them and give them out to local breast cancer patients and survivors. She suggested the guild buy the fabric for the tops, members provide their own backing and batting, and they can present them to people they know who have had breast cancer. Marilyn Jessiman made the motion to accept; Pam Jedlicka seconded. Motion passed. Bonnie Evans volunteered to put the kits together, and contact a place to meet to construct the quilts. Martha Dalton made a motion to use the proceeds of the tea cup auction to start the purchase of the breast cancer fabric; Marilyn Jessiman seconded. Motion passed.
Announcements were made concerning the Vermont Quilt Festival and August trunk show with Deb Tucker hosted by the Common Threads Quilt Guild.
Raffle Blocks were won by Gisele Nolan.

Sharon Perry asked for a big round of applause for the wonderful support of all the officers for the past year. The membership also gave Sharon a “huge thank you” for a great year.
There will be an August meeting of the Executive Board to plan for the coming year.
Meeting was adjourned to enjoy a delicious pot luck and tea cup auction.
Respectfully submitted,
Bonnie Evans, Secretary.
