9/2019 ACWC Quilt show

I hope we can all agree that our Opening Reception was a resounding success - I still have people telling me what a good time they had!!

The show teardown will be Saturday, 10/5/19, starting at 10am. Any quilts not taken home after the teardown will be taken to TQD.

Up next? We need to pick a theme for the next show in 2021!

ACWC Exhibit

Just 14 days (!!!!!!!) until our exhibit is hung at the ACWC on Wednesday, 9/4/19, starting at 4:30.
Arts Council for Wyoming County is at 31 South Main Street, Perry. 
Our exhibit is in the upstairs gallery.

So far I have 9 entry forms from Agnes, Ann, Barb, Carol, Cheryl, Kelly, Lisa, Sarah, Sue. Do we have any other entries?? If so, please contact Sarah ASAP to get her the needed data.

Our opening reception is Friday, 9/6/19 from 6:30 until 8:30 - Jackie advertised these times so we'll need to run with them. I still think it's a good idea to get to the ACWC at 6 so that we can set up the food and greet our guests.

So far I have the following food items. Please let me know what you can bring if it's not already listed.
Fruit - Agnes, Sue Toal
Veg - Sue Ferris, Luanne
Cheese/crackers - Ann, Johanna
Cookies/brownies - Sue Chiddy, Carol, Cheryyl
Other - Larae (danish), Lisa (hot dip/chips), Barb (zuke bread)
ACWC is still donating the drinks.

Please advertise to as many of your friends as possible - both for the reception and for the exhibition as a whole. 

Have I forgotten anything??!!

We've got some important decisions to make at this meeting:

• Pick a set up date/time. Date options are September 4, 5 or 6
• Tear down will be Saturday 10/5. We need to pick a time and volunteers to help
• We can write an article for the fall ACWC newsletter. Any volunteers? Due 7/15. The article can include a 300dpi photo.
• I told Jackie we were interested in having an "opening" with food. If we provide the appetizers, plates, napkins, etc then the ACWC will provide the drinks. We need to pick a couple date suggestions to schedule around dates they are planning for the downstairs gallery.
• The ACWC will again make postcards for us before Pike Fair. The postcards can be mailed - do we have anyone or any groups we want to mail them to or just use them as mini-posters? The postcards can include the same or a different photo than the newsletter article.
