 Inclement Weather!!

It has always been our policy that if McMaster University and/or Mohawk College are closed, then our meeting for the Guild is cancelled. Weather can be different in the various areas of our members. As you did for previous  meetings, please use your judgement and exercise care with regards to your own personal safety.

President's Message 

Well here we are; the last meeting of the guild year. Not sure how that happened, but it’s a fact that summer is now just around the corner. Even my weather person told me on the evening news that summer is less than 1 month away. Given the continuing iffy spring weather, it’s pretty hard to believe...

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the volunteers in the guild for the fabulous year we have enjoyed over the past 10 months. Without these ladies our guild could not continue to provide us all with the wonderful programs, learning opportunities, fun and friendships we have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy! You are all amazing, and it has been my pleasure to work with you all!!

Our June meeting will be a busy one, so check out the entire newsletter for info on what to bring; president’s challenge, treats, donations, and maybe those $$$ you have been saving for your membership renewal and some good quilt reads to inspire and keep you motivated over the summer.

I think the only thing left to say is that I hope to see everyone back in September, so have a safe and enjoyable summer!

Alison McDonald, president
