September 12, 2011 Guild Meeting Minutes

The TKGV president called the September 2011 meeting to order at 7:24 p.m. by welcoming our guests and extending birthday wishes to our members and guests celebrating their birthdays in September.

The president spoke about the variety of iTunes podcasts available re: knitting. She encouraged all of us to listen to the podcasts.

The guild approved the minutes of the August 2011 guild meeting.

Debbie Henderson advised the guild she will set up a table and display at the Water Ways Heritage Festival at the Great Bridge Battlefields the weekend of October 8 (from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) and October 9, 2011 (from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.). Guild members are invited to participate in the event. Please bring a portable chair. We will focus on knitting for charity. Debbie will have patterns and yarns. Please bring 16” # 8, 9 & 10 needles to work on hats.

The president asked members who are not receiving the monthly newsletter via e-mail to send the president the members’ current names and e-mail addresses.

The treasurer will collect the annual guild dues of $20.00 at the October 2011 meeting. After a brief discussion on pro-rating the annual dues for new members who joined the guild in the most recent months prior to October, the president advised the guild will review the topic again at the October 2011 meeting to decide if dues should be pro-rated those members who join the guild in the most recent months prior to October.

The president advised the guild will elect new officers at the October 2011 meeting. At this point, the president’s, the vice-president’s and the secretary’s positions are open for volunteers. Please contact the president if you are interested in serving in one of these positions for the Nov. ’11 – Oc. ’12 term.

Trink Dahl-Prince led the program on Sally Melville’s patterns. We viewed various finished Sally Melville projects completed by guild members.

Following the member show and tell of current projects, the Ways and Means Committee conducted the raffle.

The president confirmed the October meeting will occur on October 3, 2011.

With no further business to conduct, the meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m.
