  • All of the quilts will finish at 34" x 42" for this exhibit.

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.
