Welcome!

Lost And Found:  

From the President

• Boy, have we had some weather! All of Iowa is a disaster area and I feel so bad for the people whose homes and businesses were flooded. But we are tough and resilient people and I am sure we’ll be back on our feet before long. My problems are so minor compared to all the people who were affected by the flood--but I have been without a computer since the end of May, when lightning struck and entered the phone line in the computer and destroyed it. Now for a public awareness notice: Get a surge protector with a phone jack in it. I just got my new computer connected to the internet and since there is no longer a wmconnect and since my new computer has Windows Vista and it is not compatible with Netscape (they took over wmconnect), I have a new e-mail address (Mainstreet1944@juno.com) so take notice.
• I hope everyone is getting their quilts registered for the DMAQG show. I just got a couple of my quilts registered on-line and it is so easy! Remember, the deadline for entering your quilts is July 15. I encourage you to have your entries judged, too.
• The fair is coming soon and I look forward to seeing your quilts displayed at the fair--with ribbons on them. If you do win a ribbon, please let us know so we can put your name in the newsletter.
• The May meetings with Barb Sherrill were great. She and her husband drove here from Washington State so she brought lots of quilts to show us. The classes were filled and we learned some neat things too. She was a very nice lady. I hope most of you got to see and meet her.
• Sell your raffle tickets or buy them yourself; then sell some more. Who wouldn’t want this beautiful quilt? If each of the nearly 500 members who received twelve raffle tickets with last month’s Piece Time would either sell or buy them, we would have around $5000 to cover guild expenses. That would be a great help. Please consider it!

Stay dry and I’ll see you next month.
Sherri Street, President
