Surfside Quilters Guild, a beginning 04-14-09

Today was the first Board Meeting of a new guild - Surfside Quilters Guild is a daytime guild that will meet in San Clemente, CA. It has been a long time in the planning with lots of ups and downs, but some people were determined and had faith that a new guild is needed.

Nancy Ota, the founding President, has made it work. She has also made a fund raising contribution with some of the sales of her newest pattern, "Hang In There, Kitty", going to the guild along the income from a guild workshop she will be teaching on the pattern. The stands, made and contributed by a member, will also bring profits to the guild.

It takes a lot of bodies and a lot of effort to make a guild work. Here are a few of those who will volunteer their time as officers and committee chairs during the inaugural year.
And a few more new Board members hard at work.
I know you will wish us well and we hope you will come to visit and perhaps become a member. This will be only the second daytime guild in Orange County, CA., where there are five guilds that meet in the evening.

Del, Thank you so very much for introducing us to Susan Boyle. A special treat to begin my day. Congratulations to the new quilt guild. To have a daytime meeting group is the ultimate quilter's luxury!
