Sew -n -Tell
Reminder

The Shriners asked that we put the tables and chairs back into rows before we leave.(Back the way they were when we arrive.

Liability insurance was questioned by the Shriners. They have insurance that would cover us, however, it was suggested by them, that we look into getting our own policy.. Carol received a $225 per year quote from them. Leslie N. Made a motion to accept the quote. The motion was approved by the majority.

Committee Reports:

Diana passed out our fourth part for our Mystery Quilt. If you have a question phone or email Diana H.

Bi-laws were emailed to all members and a vote will be taken at our August meeting.

Pasty S. gave Carol info regarding a September 5th and 6Th "One Stop shop in Kokomo, Indiana. Carol will e-mail information regarding this event.

Show and Tell: A suggestion was made that the items be labeled and displayed for all to see with one or two members to be "showcased" each month. Barbara M made a motion to accept this suggestion. The motion was seconded by Mary L.
Carol tabled the motion so members could think about it over the next month. We will discuss at next month’s meeting.

It was also discussed to display the Round Robins instead of showing each individual one. There are 4 groups and it does take quite a bit of time. This would give us more time for Show and Tell.

Round Robins, passed around for next round. Lots of beautiful projects in the works.

Next meeting: Aug 25th 6:30pm
