Hi Everyone! What a wonderful September meeting we had
–thanks to everyone for sharing their Loralei stories.
We have lots to cover in this newsletter for our show next
week. So Show Stuff first, then reminders for Oct., September meeting minutes.
SHOW STUFF! Our
ad will be running in the NR News 9/23 and 9/27.
Hit up facebook and look for my posts with the ads about the
show – Share with your family and friends!
We need a host for Jean Carlton, the Quilt Appraiser
that visited in August. If you have a guest bedroom that you would be
willing to share, please contact Jean Potter asap. No need to supply
dinner, just needs a place to sleep so it’s not such an early morning before
the show.

these spots – please contact Sandy Balcerak – sbalcerak@yahoo.com
