I'm sad to announce our Facebook group has been hacked.  I have reached out to Facebook to see what can be done.  Currently, no one can see the Group.  Not even the Administrator account. 

We will keep you updated on what we can do about it. 

The Sewing Room is closed to members at 3pm. We are installing our new ironing station. 

Thank you

Welcome to our newest members: Glenda Leyba, Lynn Weber, Kim Holiver, Marcia Mansell and Mary Mullin, Carolyn Hwang & Lynn Tambara! Looking forward to seeing you in The Room. Thank you to my great trainers; Hinde Socol, Gail Covert, Luana Morcom and Lorene Osterday. I couldn't do this without your generosity.

There was an error in the proposed Club Charter revisions. A provision in Section 7, Club Finances, regarding the club leadership's authority to authorize payments up to $1000 outside of the budget was accidentally omitted. This provision is currently in our existing Charter and will remain unchanged. The error has been corrected.

Additionally, there has been confusion about the proposed revisions. While the previous email highlighted only three changes, there were four. The honorary past president position has been removed from the proposal, as such there was nothing to highlight.

Here is a summary of the proposed changes:

• Add four at-large SIG leaders: These leaders will be elected by the general membership. All current SIG leaders have been consulted and support this change.
• Elect SIG leaders: The general membership will vote to elect the four at-large SIG leaders.
• Remove honorary past president position: This position will be eliminated.
• QVF resident guest privileges: QVF resident guests may attend up to 12 QFV meetings but will not have access to the sewing room or other club events or meetings.

Good Afternoon All, 

The Machine Cleaners are leaving a little fabric strip that says "cleaned" under each sewing machine foot.  Please when you see that strip of fabric and you use the machine, pin the "cleaned" fabric strip to the underneath of the pin cushion in the each drawer.

Do not remove the fabric strip unless you use the machine.  This will help the machine cleaners not have to clean every machine unless they are used.

Gail Covert was kind enough to make all these fabric strips.  The Machine Cleaners thank you in advance for you cooperation.

Sew Happy!
