Hello KCMQG members!
Our meeting this month is just a week away! We will be meeting next Thursday, February 11th at 7pm back at the Kauffman Foundation Conference Center. Trisch Price will be our guest speaker and we’ll be holding elections.
We hope our members attending QuiltCon-West in Pasadena February 18-21 have a great time!
OFFICER TEAM & COMMITTEE CHAIRS
There is still time to nominate yourself or someone else (with their permission) to be an officer or a committee chair. If you haven’t done so already, you can enter your nominations into our online form. If you have questions about any of the positions, don’t hesitate to reach out to the current board at the guild account (kcmodernquiltguild@gmail.com ) for more information. As of right now, there is no one running for the technology coordinator.
2016-2017 board members will serve from March 2016-March 2017.
We will hold elections at the February meeting. You must be present to vote. We will still take nominations for board candidates at the February meeting before voting. In the event that more than one person runs for a single position, we will have paper and pens on hand to vote by fill-in ballot.
WORKSHOPS
Trisch Price will be doing a workshop with us for her Show and Tell Bag. It will be held at the Roeland Park Community Center in Room 6 on next Saturday, February 13, 2016 from 10am until 5pm. The cost is $40. If you’d like to sign up, visit this link.
