NEW BUSINESS-
Susan Cupp shared that next month’s scheduled program fell through. She suggested we do a game night with a word find, a seam ripping race, and bingo. Members will need to bring seam rippers. Marcia shared that there are games on Etsy. Susan will plan this and purchase prizes.
Susan Bloch shared an idea about an “open sew night” that her daughter told her about. It would be for people to come in and receive help, sewing a button, hemming pants, stitching something up, etc. Perhaps we can do one next year.
Board decided to pass on Hometown Values website advertisement.
Meeting adjourned 6:07pm.
