family. She is happy to be here and enjoying White Rock. She is an experienced quilter.

Susan or any of the executive members know if you are willing and able to take over a position, to make 
for a smooth transition next fall.
A survey will be sent out soon to find out if people are enjoying the ‘teams’ approach to programming.
