Today was our April meeting, as well as our AGM. What a meeting!
Our AGM started with our Chair’s report, where Jane recapped the past year, and thanked the members that gave her assistance through the year.
Next, Tracy read the minutes of the previous AGM, and then Eilis gave her treasurer’s report.
At this meeting, it was announced that Eilis would step down as treasurer and Olivia would step down as Branch representative. Volunteers were requested to join the committee this year, as next year 4 members of the committee would be stepping down. See Jane or any other members of the committee if you’re interested in volunteering!
Motions that passed included increasing the fee at the door in order for us to cover room rental fees and a motion to present to the Executive AGM focusing on education for branches.
Once all the business was completed, we had our Show and Tell! How about these quilts!
Next, Sandra Jansen gave a talk on her quilting history and improvisational piecing. Below is a slideshow of her work she showed the group!
Due to the length of the meeting, the Block of the Month instruction was delayed until next month, where we’ll be having a social meeting. Be sure to work on your nearly finished quilts to bring to the Show and Tell. We’re hoping it will be the biggest Show and Tell of the year!
Southern Branch of the Irish Patchwork Society
