Minutes for July 2015 Meeting
Minutes recorded by Angel
We had 12 members and 2 visitors at the July 11, 2015 meeting. Show & Tell items included Fourth of July inchies from 6 members, BOH with herringbone cane taught at our last meeting, Helen Breil style pendant, Best Flexible Molds new additions, earring, and a new Premo color Golden Glitter! Lori also brought many samples of artwork from her Mixed Media cruise / Bead & Button show. On the cruise Lori entered a drawing for guilds with the prize being a goody bag, and won! After some discussion we decided to lay the contents out and draw numbers for choosing an item.
