Meeting Minutes submitted by Jackie Gritzinger
The meeting was called to order by Pat Waldron.
Anna Bachtel reports that there is no new news regarding our application to get tax-exempt status.
Instructions and a supply list for the Wonder Star class with Shirley Stutz are on the OLAQ Yahoo group. A sample of the
quilt was shown. There are still openings for the October 7th class at The Stitchin Post. Contact Kathy Goss for
information.
Our next meeting is Saturday, Sept 16th, at Amy Jones's studio. Shirley Stutz will be presenting a program on feather
flowers. See the meeting page on the website for complete details. Vicki Anderson, Editor of the Unlimited Possibilities
magazine may be attending.
A new Event Committee has been formed to investigate the feasibility of OLAQ sponsoring some type of event in the fall of
2007. A poll recently posted on the Yahoo group showed that the majority of members are in favor of the idea and are
committed to helping out where needed. The committee consists of Kathy Goss, Kathy McCarty, Janice Kiser and Jodi
Robinson.
Regional meetings will be held in November instead of a regular OLAQ meeting. Hostesses include Linda Miller, Jodi
Robinson, Connie Rice, Sue Palumbo and Nancy Rab. Complete details for each meeting will be posted to the website a
few days before the October meeting. Members will be required to send an email to Anna Bachtel on October 19th
indicating their first, second and third choices of meetings they want to attend. Anna will assign each member to one
meeting, then she can assign members to a second meeting if they so desire and if there is room to accommodate them,
as all of the meetings will not be on the same date in November. Complete details of how to register will be on the
website.
The 2007-2008 meeting schedule will be unveiled at the October meeting. One special note - the June 2007 meeting will
be held in Columbus to correspond with NQA (June 6,7,8). Bob from Superior Threads will be presenting a program on
thread on Friday evening for the group.
A Nominating Committee has been formed to provide a slate of officers for the 2007-2008 term. Linda Miller is the
Chairperson and the other members are Joy Watkins and Carol Rickard.
The nominees for Officers will be announced at the October meeting. The nominees can address the group to present
their ideas and plans for occupying their position. Voting will take place via a 14 day long poll on the Yahoo group. Mary
Zeitz is working on a way to make the poll anonymous. If this doesn’t work, one member may be asked to collect votes
privately.
Members were reminded that, as required by the by-laws, the officers will be reviewing participation of individual
members during the past year. Participation includes serving on committees, attending meetings, participating in the
block exchange, etc.
Block Designs - It was suggested that we have a plain block, or perhaps a snowball block, for a future design.
The subject of OLAQ sending flowers to members who are ill was addressed. Shirley Stutz asked how we decide
whether to send flowers or a card. Members voted to have a “Sunshine” chairperson who would order flowers or send
cards when needed. A committee was formed to come up with the guidelines. When the guidelines are completed, a
volunteer will be requested to fill this position. The committee consists of Nancy Rab and Phyllis Groves.
Shirley Stutz presented information about upcoming classes with national quilting teacher Colleen Wise at The Stitchin’
Post in Cambridge, Ohio. Shirley will email details to the group. Contact Shirley if you have questions.
Openings are still available for the Zinck's get away on Dec 2, 3, 4. Contact Amy Jones for information.
