On the third Thursday of the month from September through May, meetings are held at the Emmanuel Baptist Church. You are welcome to attend
two meetings before you must decide to become a member. When the
program includes a speaker, the guest fee is $10 and the member fee is $5.
Meeting Agenda Doors open at 6:30 pm and the meeting starts at 7:00 pm often with a short business session during which officers report on guild
activities. The main part of the meeting involves a guest speaker, quilting
demonstrations, a fundraising activity, or other events
centered around quilting. Refreshments are provided during a break.
Meetings often close with raffles and Show 'n Tell around 9 pm.
Sign-in The
membership committee is the first group you will see. All attendees are asked to
check in. Guests are
welcome to attend two meetings prior to joining the guild. The
membership committee collects dues for new members and renewals.
Door Prizes, Name Tags, and Other Fun You
are automatically given a door prize ticket for attending a meeting,
and you get an extra door prize ticket for remembering your name tag.
Name tags can be ordered through the guild or you can make one. We also
have a fabric raffle and a Block of the Month ("BOM") collection at
each meeting. Both are published in the guild newsletter and on the member's website.
Show ‘n Tell Don’t
be bashful! Most meetings include a show ‘n tell time when guild
members can display projects for everyone to see. Ooohs and
aaahs are not uncommon!! Show ‘n tell is a great deal of fun and
everyone looks forward to it.
Raffle Tickets Tickets
are sold before each meeting and at intermission for 5 tickets/$1.00 or 18 tickets/$3.00.
You are given a set of matching tickets – you keep one set and use the
others for chances to win the item or items of your choice. Each item
has a basket in front of it in which you can put your tickets. You can
put them all in one basket or split them up. Members and local
businesses often generously donate items for the raffle. Please contact
the membership chairperson should you care to donate raffle items.
Other items are purchased from raffle proceeds with the balance going
to the treasury. By building this balance we can then invite speakers
who would be of interest to all.
Membership Dues Dues are paid annually and determined by the Board of Trustees on
the basis of projected budgets from all of the committee chairpersons.
Our annual membership dues are $35 and due no later than the October meeting of each year. Anyone who joining for the first time after February 1, will pay half the annual dues
which covers membership through June. A Junior membership (ages 10-18) is available. The membership form is at the bottom of the page. |
