I think these recaps on the blog are a great idea. And thanks for the shout-out about needing a giving qulit quilter!
These meeting recaps are wonderful! Thank you so much for going to the trouble. This way if minutes come later we can still be informed about what’s going on, especially if we miss a meeting.
I’m trying really hard to get the minutes out within a day or 2 of the meetings, also!

Don’t you mean FEB 19th?
You are correct. Thanks for catching that!
