President Tina Rounsavell called the meeting to order at 12:33 pm. Tina reminded everyone to silence their cell phones. She recognized new members and guests. Tina then introduced Programs Co-Chair Sue Zois.
Program Co-Chair Sue Zois introduced speaker Cecelia Campochiaro who spoke about “Sequence Knitting.” Cecelia is a retired scientist who brings her analytical and creative thinking to knitting. She explained how her science background and artistic family influenced her and showed numerous illustrations of her “sequence knitting” and how it allows for a vast array of shifting patterns. Her next projects involve color, especially marls.
After the presentation, President Tina Rounsavell conducted the business meeting.
Member badges: Membership Coordinator Nancy Nevin explained that members will now keep their own name badges and that each name badge will have a sticker attached that indicates the membership year. She encouraged everyone to wear their badges at all Guild events. She announced that the 2019 membership directories were available for members and reminded everyone that the directory was for member use only.
Stash Sale: Coordinator Lou Wanna Katz announced that the May general meeting is the last time members can drop off yarn for the stash sale.
