New Business: As with many organizations, the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic have drastically decreased membership and attendance. In light of the situation, the guild voted to take the following actions:
Dues will be suspended for one year, or until such time as it seems feasible to start again.
Election of new officers will be postponed until more people are interested in helping out.
The guild will still meet informally. A program sign-up sheet will be circulated so members can volunteer to present a program during the month of their choice.
Thanks- The group thanked Connie and Betty for their hard work in keeping the guild functioning during these very trying times.
Our next meeting will be on Saturday, February 19, 2022.
