topics were part of the business.

-New member Anette S. was welcomed into our group. She lives across the street from Marette.

-Lynne M. gave a detailed plan of what to do in case of fire at Brookswood. Members of Brookswood 

signed that they are aware of the fire plan. This is a requirement that Brookswood has in place. Anyone 

who was not attending the meeting will need to read over the fire plan and sign the paper next time 

they attend Brookswood.

-Carolyn drew for door prizes. The rule this year is that you must be wearing your name tag in order to 

claim your door prize if your number is drawn.

Marette continued with a segment of our ongoing sewing room organization challenge. She showed a 

video on the large TV. After the video, Marette asked if people like using this type of media during our 

meetings. The show of hands in favor was a strong majority of the attendees.

Iris Z. and Karen B. (Two of our members) gave wonderful trunk shows of their quilts.
