September Newsletter

Letter from the President
Hi all, 
This summer has really flown by. Our ice cream social was really tasty. I was so impressed with how many snacks you all brought for the school kids. What a great group of ladies we have in our guild. 
I am looking forward to Judy Worm's presentation and also really looking forward to our retreat. 
 I saw something on Pinterest that I wanted to share with you all. I am sure you can relate. 

Vocabulary Word: 
Proquiltinating: Working on quilts when you should be doing laundry, or dishes, or picking kids up from school. 
See you all at guild. 
Theresa
