OCTOBER GUILD MEETING
Happy Birthday, Hands All Around Quilt Guild!
This fall our guild will mark 40 years!
What started as an idea between a couple of friends
back in 1982 grew to what we are today.

To mark this momentous occasion,
we're planning a dinner on October 6 
for members. You must RSVP by September 8
under the Members' Only tab.
We will honor all past presidents that night.

If you're unable to make the dinner, you're invited
to arrive at 6:15 to meet up with the
past presidents who are in attendance.

HAAQG meets the first Thursday of each month at 7pm.

​The next meeting is Thursday, October 6th when we will celebrate our 40th birthday as a guild. We're having a dinner for members - you need to RSVP by September 8th. If you can't make the dinner, you're encouraged to come at 6:15 to visit with the past presidents who are with us that night.

This is a reminder of the program that Rhonda Pierce of Schmetz needles conducts on the first Wednesday of each month at noon CST on SCHMETZ needles Facebook Live. They are 30 – 45 minutes with updates, SCHMETZ answers and an awesome giveaway.

How to attend? If you haven't attended before and are interested, first go in and “like” SCHMETZ needles on Facebook. A few days before the FB Live, a FB announcement will be made that will include a link to the event. With this link, you can indicate, interested, not going, or going. If you click interested or going, you will get a reminder of the event. Each month, her agenda and topics are different, sometimes spontaneous and fun.

Library - Check It Out

The Fire Sale for our excess books at the September meeting was a success! Thank you for helping us reduce the volume of books we had. We have plans to purchase new books soon! The Library will reopen at the November meeting.
