Janice Spaulding, VP, called a brief business meeting to order about 11 a.m. and the few items of business were dispensed with quickly. Those included discussing the member retreat which will be held in Vincennes on May 20 and 21. Our retreat location will be changed due to a power outage on the VU campus and that change will be shared with those who have indicated they plan to attend. People were reminded that if they want Arline Johnstone to assist them in some special way, with fabric or pattern for instance, they must notify her at once. Arline's contact info was given. About 12 people have said they will be attending. The meal aspect of the retreat will be taken care of by the members from VU and they'll be bringing their findings to the May meeting, which will be one week before the retreat.
Lois told everyone that Jana has fallen and is at a rehab center at this time. Her address was shared.
Judy Foster promised that she'll have the member ID cards ready for the next meeting. A finalized membership list is also being prepared.
The business meeting was adjourned and everyone stayed to hook and visit some more. Some work in progress is pictured below ...
