December pressures

Are you relaxed and enjoying this crisp cold air?
I hope that all of you are not under pressure to overdo your christmas plans , your christmas feasting or the quilted and home made gifts. My family holiday plans have radically changed and it is SO much less stressful when you do not let your expectations run your life.

The raffle committee met at my home last week and there will be packets of tickets for you to take home from the christmas party.
Inside the Ziplock baggie will be tickets, an envelope for cash and a photo of the prizes.
Each book of tickets has 15 tickets and be sure to make yourself aware that you will get TWO different types of sales books.
One book has $2.00 tickets for single sales.
The 2nd book has 3 for $5.00 sales for those who might like to purchase multiples.
The money for both types of tickets can be placed in the same plastic bag , but the ticket stubs are to be accounted for in this special way in case the gov’t should ever audit us.
Please place this ziplock baggie in your purse along with a pen and ask your friends, neighbours and family to support a excellent charity.
So many people are working hard to make this Cat scan for the hospital a reality asap.
You may hand in your sold ticket books at any guild meeting before the deadline of March 20th.
You may take more tickets to sell or assist at our sales table at the mall in January and February.

Now I will ponder what to make for my $10.00 gift for the christmas party and what to bring for treats.
Let’s all of us cross our fingers that the weather is pleasant for Thurs eve.

last meeting of the year

Can’t believe it’s already December ??- neither can all the rest of us!

Our business meeting is planned for Dec 4th . Please have your receipts ready for our treasurer, your reports typed and ready for presentation to our secretary, and that will leave more time for show and tell, so we can brag about all the gifts we’re presenting to family members.

We should have all 3 raffle prizes ready to show you . The raffle tickets will be ready for our Christmas party and you’ll be able to pick up your books of tickets.

Have you noticed that there is a table for the catscan at most public functions and at both of our supermarkets on a regular basis? This project is HUGE and the organizers for the Hospital Foundation are taking their job very seriously. Let do our part and attempt to sell every single ticket.

We have 2 uncoming weekend workshops. The FIRST is this Sat ,Dec 6th and will get you right in the gift giving mood. Be sure to check the revised supply list.We have 5 to 6 small projects that will keep you busy through the day and delight your friends, family or co-workers.

Our New Year’s weekend workshop is Dec 27&28. This is for those of us that have lots of UFO’s and
*need help with sandwiching
*need space to machine quilt
*need some uninterrupted time to get the finishing touches on some show entries
* want to work on community quilts for the show display.
