May Meeting Minutes 2015

Meeting was called to order.  At the start of the meeting attendance registered at 23.

Wool raffle was held. Two lucky members- Chris S and Gloria S- won some wool.

Board received approval to buy the grids which would assist with showing rugs.  Estimate was that it would cost $385.  Various options/vendors were discussed. Decided to go with proposed grids which are 5 feet  with the base because they could be easily transported.

Discussed Hook in Dates- Reminder 2015 hook in is Oct 3.  For 2016 we are pursuing Sept 10.  Amy will proceed to vet out this date.

We have been invited to hold a beginner class at Black Sheep Wool in Windsor.  Class to be held June 6 from 9-3.  Volunteers for assisting in the class were solicited.
