Old
Business
We
discussed ANWG conference and sending them money for the bags that
will be recyclable. Heather Sinclair moved that we send money as they
need a commitment by June and we didn't think they were going to
order things (like cups) from China and it would be local. Kathy
McDonald seconded it and all were in favor. Lynn brought up the
Romney Batt from Birkland Brothers Julie Getting moved that we use
it for the booth and seconded by Margo Turner. All were in favor,
and it was divided up for people to spin and dye or felt for our ANWG
booth.
One
of our Life members Evelyn Hempinstall died recently. I tried to find
more information but was unable to.
New
Business
It
was suggested we have a picnic in the park in the summer and take
spinning and weaving to promote the guild. We could hand out
information and make cards. $50 for 500 cards. We need new contacts
and information. Some one was going to talk to Crystal before
ordering. Liz Kaarremaa moved we spend the$50 and Margo Turner
Seconded the motion and all were in favor.
Agenda
for May meeting Crystal. Liz has had contact with Sylvia Olson on a
workshop with Sylvia on Salish Knitting. Sylvia has been doing a PhD
and after may will be in contact. Meeting Adjourned by Jeannette
