Vicki Nightingale reminded everyone it is time to renew membership. Two May birthdays – Cindy
Shepard and Mandy Ralston, were awarded a fat quarter. Vicki is doing a photo directory and asked members
to get their picture taken tonight. She said members could also send her a photo, if preferred. She showed
samples of a directories, with four people per page and one person per page. The one person per page has
the advantage of being able to add new members in alphabetical order or removing members. The directory
could be printed and placed into a notebook. Members may also keep the directory digitally. Members
preferred multiple pictures on one page. Vicki will also have a one page spreadsheet of members and
information.
Fabrics, notions and patterns from the guild storage unit are on tables tonight, for sale, to help Ways &
Means.
Mandy Ralston needs to fill the next quilt show board ask asked for people to please volunteer.
Traci Crumley has a paper to fill out with your preference for Community Service sew days.
Peggy plans to purchase replacement poles, next month, for the quilt show racks that were broken.
The Board is working on the budget. They will send it out to everyone and present it to members next
month.
Beverly Martine brought up affiliating our guild with the Modern Quilt Guild, a national guild. Pros and
cons were discussed. Our guild name would have to be changed to reflect “Modern Quilt Guild”. For
example: Wichita Mountain Modern Quilt Guild. The cost of dues would increase to $40 per year, $20 of
which would be sent to the National Modern Quilt Guild. They have a fiscal year of January through
December. The national guild has resources available such as learning videos, etc. online. The decision was
tabled until the June meeting. Everyone can learn more at www.themodernquiltguild.com.
The starting time for our guild meetings was discussed. Barbara Johnston moved to start meetings at
7pm for six months. The motion was approved.
Donna Klein announced that the Bee retreat held at Hobby Hill House will be 26-29 September 2024.

Lenor Davis showed a block for Drag & Brag, made at the Sue Semler class, held at the Duncan guild.
The program was given by Beverly Martine on borders. She stated she would not be here in July and
