Winter Program Benefits Many

= It’s time for the January Community Service meeting once again= ! We usually try to devote the January meeting to a time when all members can he= lp contribute to our own community.

= Chris Landis is passing her hat = as we begin 2009. She has chaired our community service for several years and we appreciate all of her hard work, enthusiasm and contagious spirit.

= Members can bring supplies for the community quilts (cutting mats, rotary blades, rulers, scissors, needles and thread).

= Plan to spend an evening where you can reach out to others in need. Remember, charity begins at home.

A Note from the President<= /b>

   =          Hello, I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. It’s January and that means Community Quilts! We have Co-Chairs! I want to welcome Lesa Bame and Becky Siva. I’m excited for them, and so thankful they h= ave decided to step up and take over.

   =          On that note, I want to thank Chris = Landis for her 7 years of chairing that position. Thank you very much!<= /span>

   =          Also, Lee Peterson is stepping d= own from Sunshine Lady. Thank you for your cards and time!

   =          Also, Fons & Porter was bei= ng run by Connie Combs. Thank you= for doing this!

   =          So this brings me to my topic this month. I need someone to step in for the following positions: Historian, Sunshine News, Fons and Porter, and Demonstrations.

1. Historian has boxes of photos, memorabilia, and even the scrapbook. This is ready to go.

2. Sunshine Person sends cards to those who are sick or have had a de= ath.

3. Fons & Porter is a fund-raiser in which the Guild receives ½ of the cost of the subscription. We are in need of this position especially as it does bring in funds for our Guild!!!!

4. Demonstration Chairman sets up demonstrations for the Guild. This person would do this in conjunction with the Vice President.

   =          These positions would be a great way to get involved with the guild and give back= a little. Please think about helping out.

= Ciao,
