President's Message
Well, my “reign” is almost at an end. Next month I will be handing the gavel to Rita. I had a great year; wonderful committees, great programs and friendly Guild members. I just returned from Charleston where I learned to fish. I can now cast my own rod into the ocean, but the only thing I caught was a sunburn. What fun I had sitting there looking at my rod, waiting for it to bend ! LOL. I sincerely hope everyone of you enjoyed our meetings and our show this year and will continue to support us next year.
Thanks. Cheryl
YQG Trivia
October 1997, the guild hosted a party for a group of ladies from Denmark.
They were on a quilt tour in Lancaster County. One of the ladies was a pen pal of past guild president Eileen Shrey (1998-1999).
Discussion between the tour guide and the guild resulted in a quickly arranged party. It had a Mexican theme, chili, cornbread etc.
There was an “International show and tell” and bow tie block exchange.
Lots of fun! We certainly have had some interesting events at our guild!
