President’s Message

As the working year of the AQG nears the end of term, I would like to thank the membership at large for their support by attending the monthly meetings and participating so regularly in our non monthly programs. Cuddle quilts flourished. BOM attracted an enthusiastic crowd and the UFO days experienced record numbers. 

The Program department has the next year planned…..bigger and better than ever. Our ticket sellers made us extra $$$ which we funnelled into the cuddle quilt program as well as funding the speakers for next year. The unsung heroes in the library, membership and newsletter departments roll along with efficiency, keeping us up to date and informed. All of this, in some part, due to the leadership and organization of our VOLUNTEERS. Alison willingly stepped up when asked and our treasurer held a tight reign at all times. My secretary kept me in line when I wandered, but that was part of her job! Karen and company, you fed us well Thank you.

A special thank you to Colleen Dawson as our unofficial, official greeter a more gracious smile never seen!

Thank you to the executive for making my journey so easy. I have done the presidential journey many times, none so easy and with so little stress.

My presidential term is complete the end of June.

To the back row I go! (along with Miss Marge)

Cheers to all of you, members at large and executive as well.

JOBS WELL DONE!
