November & December meetings
Our last meeting was in October due to lack of attendance for the November and December meetings.
Officer
positions
The terms of the previous officers were set to expire in December. Since members did not show up
for the December meeting, we discussed officers at this meeting. Clare was willing to continue as Treasurer. Justine volunteered
as Secretary and after some discussion, Linda volunteered as President as well as continuing as Web Diva. Thanks go out to
Morgan and Maureen for all that they did in 2005 for Crochet Guild Seattle. We would not exist as a group without them.
Duties were
informally defined as follows:
Treasurer: Account for money, write checks, make monthly finance report.
Secretary: Take minutes and post them.
President: Run meetings, schedule meetings with help of the members.
Justine
has a copy of the job descriptions that she will provide for us to look at.
Advertising
Justine
has kindly volunteered to make up flyers with tear off strips and mail them to people who promise to put them up in their
area. If you are interested, send Justine your address along with the number of flyers you plan to put up. Her email address
is justineknits@yahoo.com. You can also give her this information at the next meeting.
Josie has promised to mention our meetings at any crochet
classes she teaches. Clare is looking into letting the crochet group that meets at the Phinney Neighborhood Center know about
our group.
There was some discussion about whether we might want to change the group's name since "Guild" can
be somewhat intimidating. We will discuss this more at the next meeting.
Linda will order new business cards from VistaPrint
for the group. She may wait until after the next meeting in case we decide to change the group name.
We discussed looking into putting
a listing or advertisement in neighborhood newspapers.
Annual Dues of $10 will be collected at the next meeting,
so bring your money.
We had a fun time making Dish Cloths and missed those of you who weren't able to make it. Thank you,
Justine, for bringing treats!
Linda Yaw
