President’s Message

June 2017

As we welcome summer it is the signal that there are changes afoot within the AQG.  We salute and thank those volunteer executive members who have served us well and are moving on to retirement. Without these enthusiastic and dedicated

members our guild would not be the attractive and welcoming body that we all enjoy. On behalf of the entire executive and the membership body -thank you all!

Your cohesive efforts were greatly appreciated.

We now welcome NEW volunteers.

I am looking forward to the second year of my tenure as the plans are already in place for an interesting and active year.

We are financially sound  -  membership sound and totally prepared in all planning departments for the following term.

Enjoy your summer, QUILT CANADA and time with family and friends.

Jackie Syer, President
