Wow, two years just flew by! I want to thank everybody in the guild for helping to make things run
smoothly, and generally keeping me on track where possible. Serving as president during the
pandemic years had its challenges, and it’s only through the efforts of our members that we made it
work.

A BIG thank-you to my fellow officers and committee chairs. I almost always learn something from
our guild meetings, even when I don’t think I will. I have full confidence that the proposed slate of
new officers will be successful – with the guild’s continued support.

I’m looking forward to the yard sale, despite my robust stash. I have a lot of little pieces, but there are
gaps I’m looking to fill. Everybody get your checkbooks or credit cards ready!

There’s a long weekend ahead to work on sewing and organizing all the crafty bits. I’ve posted my
yearly rant on Facebook about not confusing Memorial Day with Veterans Day or Armed Services
Day, so I can enjoy my day off work with gratitude. Peace to all of you.

Yours in Quilting,
Michele
