June Pot Luck and Wrap-Up Meeting

We welcomed our members, some former members and also a new member, a great ending to our year!


First we enjoyed the potluck, then a bit of business and a spirited Minute-To-Win-It game organized by our incoming president, Melanie. We do have a competitive group!

                  

 

 In our Fat Quarter Draw they added a few prizes for those who have never been drawn before. One member had their ticket drawn three times in a row and then was the lucky person drawn for never having had their name drawn before that night!

 

 

Two of our completed hospice quilts were displayed with a special thank you to the two groups

who donated time to hand quilt the hospice quilts. They had been invited to share our meal.
