Schoolhouse Event and Membership Drive All in One!

Along with all of the regular shenanigans, like food, games, food, fellowship, more food, and our annual garage sale, you can expect more fun activities at your Summertime Event. Here’s the current scoop…

If you are a member of the West Michigan Quilters’ Guild and you have an interesting quilting technique that you would like to share with other members of the guild, then we have some exciting news for you!

At this year’s WMQG Summertime Event, July 24th, we will have a Schoolhouse Sharing time. This is how it works:

• Tables will be set up in the fellowship hall portion of
  the church – at this point we are planning for 4-5
  tables per session with 4-5 teachers presenting at
  once.
• At each table will be 10-15 chairs for those that have
  come to learn.
• The teacher will present a 15-minute instructional
  session for these students.

If you are teaching any type of quilting in the west
Michigan area, this would be a great way for you to get yourself in front of potential students and a great way to share your skills with your fellow members.

During this event, the Publicity Committee will be
welcoming oodles of visitors and potential new members. A postcard mailing to over 1,500 quilt enthusiasts will have been completed inviting them to the Summer Event so they can see how much fun our guild really is. These visitors will be offered a gift bag with tons of information about our organization and a special offer to join our guild.

We will be needing volunteers for:

• Greeters
• Tour Guides
• Gift Bag Assembly/Restocking

If you are interested in teaching one or more of these sessions or signing up to volunteer for the membership drive, please contact one of the committee members below.

We will also have a table with sign up sheets and will be available to answer questions at the May meeting.
