2. Wool distribution and money collection from the annual wool buy occurred.  Thank you to Gloria, Mary Ann and Carol for cutting the wool and bagging it for distribution. Thank you to Sharon G for the paper bags used for distribution.
3. Kit making for new students was discussed.  We need many kits for the Hook In.  It was decided to do the kit making in June during our meeting, so everyone bring your cutters and we will make short work of the project.
4. Asked for volunteer for education chair.   Carol R has decided to step down from this position.  Members suggested that perhaps a committee rather than one person might make the work easier.  
5. Planning for Hook-in:

• Samples of this year’s table décor were shared and more patterns were distributed.  We need approximately 25 of these made.  Table décor committee requested that these be returned by June meeting so the committee can finish constructing them.
