Mary passed out pictures to each of us to use for marketing the raffle tickets.  Also available are posters 11" X 14" for
$5 plus shipping – Mary will be ordering these by April 1st and will pass them out at the April meeting.  

Mary also passed out the labels for our

Quilting with Machines     Anna announced we will have four machine dealers and several other quilt shops during
vendors night at QwM.  Linda Bennett will be getting fliers to each vendor.   Members are to email to Linda to whom
they have given brochures.
We have 46 registrants so far.  Rooms at Das Dutch Village are filling fast and members are urged to make their room
reservations as soon as possible.
The first
income expense report was sent out this past week and will be updated once a month.

April meeting will be hosted by Dottie Bettiker at  JDs Post House Restaurant in Warren.  If we have less than 30
present we will have to pay a $50 room fee.  

Jackie Gritzinger will confirm that Janice Marlatt will still be hosting the
May meeting in Zanesville.  

Jackie also reminded us that at the April and May meetings she will have Superior Thread's $10 vouchers for us to
spend at the
NQA meeting in June.

Jackie Gritzinger asked for a vote on show and tell being held up instead of on the table since so many had difficulty
seeing.  Members voted to have them held up and we are to ask the quilter to see it up closer if needed.

Several more workers are needed for the April 6th Aero's game this coming Friday.  Call Linda Miller for information.
We need to be at the stadium by 4PM. This could be a great money maker for us.  

The black and white fat quarters featuring everything from musical notes, to hats, to polka dots and flowers were won
by Kathryn Hood.
