AGM – 2020

Posted on by
We had our AGM last evening, holding elections for our 2020/2021 year.  Cathy D carried on our tradition of passing the fancy rotary cutter on to the new President, Dianne W.  We would like to thank Cathy for taking the lead as President and her ongoing contributions to executive in the role of Past President.
The second executive position to change for the upcoming year is Membership Coordinator. It is with sadness we say goodbye to Judy W who has admirably carried out this role for a number of years now. We will miss her attention to detail, connection to members and her sense of humour.  We welcome Jill L to executive as our new Membership Coordinator and look forward to working along side her.
The third position that has a new executive member is Vice President, since Dianne is now the big P. Altho this member requires no introduction to executive, as she has much experience in this capacity. We welcome Cheryl D as Vice President and look forward to her continued leadership and innovative ideas.
The remainder of executive is status quo: Janice S-E, Treasurer, Siona W, Secretary, Senora Baldry, Community Outreach. We look forward to another busy, fun-filled year working together on behalf of Quilting Corners
Guild members.
Always in Stitches, Senora😊
