Old Business
Reports from Coordinators
Rug Show – Fiber Arts Show
Our show is included in the First Friday Art Walk. Our
Opening Reception is October 4th from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. The show will
be up October 1-31 at Westminster Presbyterian Church.
Cheryl and others will hang the show September 30th. All
pieces to be entered in the show should be at the Studio by September 21 to avoid them being in the
way during our Open House sale September 28-29th.
Bring food for Opening Reception by 4pm October 4th to the church so
there is time to put the goodies out on serving trays. The church is supplying
us with plates, utensils, cups and glassware. We will need some workers to stay
following the show to make sure all is cleaned up and restored to its proper
place.
Wendy Weiss, Professor at UNL Textiles will be our judge.
Invitation cards for both our Open House and the Opening
Reception are available on the table. Take what you need. If you want to send
both to one person, use an envelope for 46 cents. One card costs 33 cents to
mail without the envelope. MUST have a
return address on cards or they don’t go anywhere – won’t be delivered. There are
return address stickers for the studio at the studio.
Posters – Sue will make more and leave them on the
table. Please take them to various
shops, coffee houses, churches, etc. and ask to post them so more people will
know about our show.
Reports from Task Groups:
Membership, Facility, and Finance groups have finished their
tasks. Education, Organizational Structure, and Outreach are ongoing.
Cheryl mentioned that we need more weavers and spinners to
step up and be willing to teach classes. Right now we have John, Cheryl, and
Catherine teaching, and Victoria teaching spindle spinning when there is a need
for it. To maintain our classes, we need
more teachers so the ones teaching now can have a break.
Victoria purchased four looms at the University auction for
$17.50 each. None of them are for the Guild. There will be another auction and
we can look then to see if we need to purchase a loom at these wonderful
prices.
