The Board of the Needle Arts Guild of Toledo met at the home of President Maria Nowicki at 6:45 pm on Thursday, August 07, 2008. Maria, Su Pellitieri, Anna Kerlin, Annette Hill, Nancy Wright, Caren Scarbrough and Diane Myers were present.
Nancy Wright reported that our bank account balances are: checking account $1315.30; savings at 5/3 Bank $1050.30; savings at Charter One $1071.75; and Certificate of Deposit at 5/3 Bank $2074.35 which is renewable on August 28, 2008.
President Maria Nowicki asked for items to include on our next meeting agenda. Su asked that we advise members of the next newsletter deadline, which is the 25th of the month. Board members will send information to Su about our November program at the 577 program, and about our recent children’s program, as well as reminders about which members will be providing refreshments.
Diane Myers would like to report to members about Karlynn Thompson winning ribbons at Wood County Fair.
Board members discussed allowing photography at our show.
We will advise members about the Winterthur exhibit at the Toledo Museum of Art which includes many embroidered items. The exhibit continues through September.
Julia Stange has passed on excellent feedback about our Children’s class, after her granddaughter’s participation in the July event. Everyone completed an entire project and we sent everyone home with enough supplies to complete another. Sunday in the Garden went well, although attendance was not as high as in past years.
Su reports that Peverley will circulate a sign-up sheet for volunteers for the show. We will encourage members to help with all phases of the show.
It is noted that our September board meeting falls during National seminar, therefore the board will not meet in September.
Diane asked to proof the programs again this year before they are printed. Su said she could if she is at the library when we leave on Friday. By not having critiques this year, we should be able to finish judging and set up faster.
We will form Nominating Committee in September.
Members will be asked to bring “stash” items in September to contribute to a basket which will be given as a prize for a drawing from information cards filled out by visitors. At the annual show, will we have a non-judged display of some sort. We will discuss this at the regular August meeting. Diane will make up a display about Donna Mohn’s Golden Needle Award, and techniques that Donna has taught over the years. We may develop a display about Irene’s Stitch of the Month program this year.
For our opportunity drawing for this month, Annette will donate a gift box of items including crystal, a painted canvas, an antique doily, and more. Maria will donate a gift for the September drawing.
The meeting was then adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Annette Meyer Hill
