The monthly meeting of the Needle Arts Guild of Toledo met at 6:30 pm in the Terrace Room of the Conference Center at the Toledo Botanical Garden on Wednesday, November 12, 2008. Due to the absence of Maria Nowicki, the meeting was conducted by Past President, Marianne Mussett.
[Due to a computer malfunction, the notes for the first portion of the meeting unfortunately were destroyed.]
The second portion of the meeting included a show and tell by all members of hand-stitched family heirlooms. Gifts were distributed to Secret Stitchers. The monthly Gift bag drawing was won by Anna Kerlin.
Marianne presented to the membership the slate of officer candidates which resulted from the efforts of the Nominating Committee, as follows:
President-Elect – Sue Hojnacki
Secretary - Cassie Jamet
Program Chairman – Kim Hammer
Assistant Program Chairman – Karlynn Thompson
Great Lakes Representative – Annette Hill
There were no nominations from the floor. Marianne moved that the slate be approved by unanimous vote. Peverley Hormann seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. The officers were then installed in a short ceremony.
Because we will not be meeting at the Toledo Botanical Garden any longer, and therefore have no permanent storage space, the contents of our library were auctioned off to members by silent auction. The most valuable books were saved for compilation into an opportunity drawing basket at a later date. The proceeds from the auction will be deposited into our general treasury.
The meeting was then adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Annette Meyer Hill
