Saturday was our first meeting of the new year for NELG.  I want to thank the members that attended; Linda D, Winann, Rosalie, Julie, Linda L, Susan, Bryce and Karen D, and to Lisa (guest of Linda L). It was a long meeting, we had so much to get covered. 
Special thank you to Winann for representing Jill in the passing of the gavel and IOLI president's pin.
I am so happy to be working with such an amazing group of lace makers.  We came up with new information, suggestions, and overall planned out some of the up-coming events.  30th Anniversary event is about planned out for next October.  We spoke and discussed quite a bit about our budget and financial future.  It is looking like we need to raise the membership fee about $10 to $20 per year. Sign in and let us know YOUR thoughts.
Minutes will be ready soon so that everyone that couldn't attend could read them.  Thanks to the Officers/ Committee chairs that submitted their reports in advance.  We were able to have just about all aspects of the organization represented.
Keep on Lacing,
Patty
