Here are only 25 of the Surfside Quilters Guild officers and board members who are either leaving office or changing offices effective May 1st. These are not all of the ladies who have contributed to this great guild in the last year - some of us hadn't made it to the stage yet. But it is a representation of the woman power needed to keep a guild at peak performance. Nancy Ota, founding president sits on the stage at right - behind her in blue is Joann Bishop, the incoming president. Although everyone has a job to do it takes a strong and willing person to guide the guild for a year. I congratulate both Nancy and Joann on their continuing involvement.
And congratulations also to this year's outgoing president, Sharon Whelan, seemingly bemused standing here beneath Joan Colvin's "Copper Tree" facing Diane Firth's "Red Wave". Sharon is very involved not only in Surfside Quilters Guild, but in other guilds and quilting activities around the Southland.
I did the "anniversary" program today due to the illness of our scheduled speaker. I had a couple weeks warning that I would be "on" in April instead of May, but was gone for ten days to visit Mary and attend Empty Spools and I felt the pressure of getting the TCQC quilts organized and "package" for transport to the meeting. I tried to not show too many of the same quilts that were part of the inaugural program in May 2009, but a few are such favorites I had to include them. I hope the someone who took pictures at the meeting will be willing to share so I can post some images in the future.
Aqua therapy in the morning - I can hardly wait to get in that 91degree pool and work on some of my aches and pains.

What a gift it must be to have a guild like this nearby. Such an amazing group of talented women.
I could use some aqua therapy. My bones are a little creaky from this damp start to spring. At least it's not snow!
