2018-2019 PRESIDENT’S CHALLENGE

The next KQ News‐le er deadline is: March 8, 2019 Please contact Kay Leeper or send your submission to: kleeper@cfu.net Submissions received a er this date will be considered for next month’s newsle er.

Hello Everyone,

I want to take this opportunity to apologize about my last note in January's newsle er (I made a comment about the warm winter we have had so far). So, you can par ally blame me for this incredibly cold, wet, icy, nasty weather we have been having lately. The other half of the blame has to go to Mark Schnackenberg (we can blame the weatherman, right!?!)

As you know, since the weather was so bad for our workshop and mee ng, we cancelled both last month. The May 2019 workshop, is the President's choice. I asked Janet O'Neil to conduct a Quilts to Share workshop for the guild. Kind of a make‐up sit and sew/machine quil ng workshop that we missed last month. She graciously agreed to do that. And Terri Mowrey will be there a li le later in the morning, weather permi ng, to help you with machine quil ng. You do not have to stay the day, any assistance will be appreciated!

I am looking forward to seeing everyone. It's been awhile and I'm curios to see what every one has been working on. Remember, we will need a small commi ee to assist with ge ng officers for the next board in May. See you all soon. Thanks
