Row Quilt - The big unveiling at the December 2009 Christmas Party
The November meeting of the Berlin Quilters Guild was called to order at 7:00 pm by President Irene Gallant in the Community Room of the St. Kierans Art Center.

There were no new members.
Secretary’s report was accepted with a few minor revisions.

Health and Human Services asked the Guild to donate a raffle quilt for Northern Lights. An informal agreement was made to look for a suitable quilt in the guild’s collection of quilts.
Suggestions for projects. Quilts for children which would help use some of the Guild’s large stash of fabrics.
NHSQA. A question was raised if one of the meetings of NHSQA could be held at St. Kierans Arts Center.

President's Message
November 2009
Hello Quilters,
November Sew Day was wonderful with lots of chatting and work being done. Lunch was excellent as well? Some worked on the new raffle quilt, some on the Spring Fling give-aways, some on their own quilts, and others were there to lend a hand.
Many ideas were tossed around about sew day projects and meeting projects. If you weren't at sew day, don't fret, we will bring all ideas and suggestions to the next meeting. It is the hope of the Board as a whole that everyone's ideas/suggestions will be heard and hopefully used at some point in the following year.
Now is the time to give thanks. Thanks for each other and for our talents. I found a quote by Winston Churchill that sums up what November is about:
"We make a living by what we get; We make a life by what we give."
Giving is what our Guild is all about as demonstrated by the certificate we received from RESPONSE and, I am glad to be part of such a generous group of ladies. I hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Now, onto the Christmas party. Please be at the Dairy Bar at 5:30 on December 7th. We will not be having a Board meeting this month. Darla and her team have been busy getting party plans in order. It should be a fun time.
I spoke with Joan at St. Kierans about holding the State meeting at the Arts Center on a Sunday. She is fine with this. I will get in touch with the President and let her and all you know a date and time when things are set.
