I have really enjoyed being the Door Hostess the last two years. I want to thank Ruth Trimble and Linda Hutchins for being my co-chairs, Virginia Snow and Nancy Olson for filling in for us, and our volunteer Quilting Buddies throughout the years. Ruth, Linda, and my goals were to learn everyone's name and help new members and guests feel welcome. 

For our first goal, I haven't succeeded very well at learning names since everyone says hello, picks up their name tags, and usually puts on their tags later! Next year, I'm looking forward to learning everyone's name! 

For our second goal, I hope we helped new members and guests feel welcome when they came to the table for their first meeting. Next year, I'm looking forward to extending the welcome throughout our meeting and I would like to encourage everyone to also extend this welcome. We want make our guild a welcoming and friendly place for all who attend our meetings and activities.
​ 
Have a wonderful summer and see you (with your name tag!) in September.

I was so glad to have the opportunity to show the new website at our May Salad Supper. I hope you’ve had the opportunity to explore the website and are now becoming more comfortable navigating through it. The new website gives us the opportunity to spread the news on what a great Guild we really are!

I hope that the Guild’s Executive Board, Committees, and members will use the new website to communicate with members on a continuous basis. It is not necessary to wait until the publication of our newsletter to submit articles or share information. Though the newsletter editor requests that articles be submitted by the 20th of the month, it is not necessary to wait until then to be posted on the website. I will post them the day they are received.

I am looking for someone to serve on the Website Committee with me. It is important to have more than one person available to add content and make changes. You don’t need to have website experience. If you are comfortable using a computer, uploading files and can copy and paste, you qualify! Please contact me if you are interested.

It was suggested to me that every month I post a “tip” on using the website or highlight a new feature. What a wonderful idea! So below is my first “tip of the  month”.

If you have any questions or comments concerning the website please don’t hesitate to contact me at haaqgwebmaster@gmail.com.

Thank you.

Website Tip of the Month

The Guild is now using Google Calendar to post events. With Google Calendar you can change the current view by clicking on either Week, Month or Agenda View in the upper right hand corner. You can also print any of the views using the print icon button.

​What a wonderful year we've had in the Mentor Program this quilt year.  Tremendous thanks to all of our guest teachers and a special thank you to our students.  It is so heartwarming to watch all of you sharing and learning quilting skills and making this the best Quilt Guild ever. We hope you will have fun this summer and never stop learning.  Kay Fisher is moving this summer to Tennessee to be near her daughter, but she will miss all of you very much.  Kay Bowen will continue to lead the Mentor Program along with new leaders to be announced.
