Kanata Quilt Guild

Technology got the better of us in September!  The executive would like to apologize to anyone who was not able to access our first meeting of the year.  Every attempt was made to reach everyone as quickly as possible.

We had a situation where people were sitting in the waiting room expecting to be let in, while the Host was sitting in a different room with one guest.  We tried our usual bag of tricks to connect everyone, and ended up sending a whole new meeting invitation by email at 9:15 a.m.    We are hoping this is an isolated incident and have escalated the issue with Zoom.      To compound the issue,  the web manager, Brigid, had a number of her emails land in her Junk folder, if you did not get a response directly, that’s where your mail went.    

Watch your emails on the afternoon of July 29th, all members will receive instructions to purchase a table ($10.00) to sell quilt related items at our Garage Sale, Friday September 10.  It will be held indoors at The Kanata Legion, 70 Hines Road from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.  

In order that all members have a fair chance to reserve one of the tables provided, you are asked to e-mail Lynn Price (treasurer@kanataquiltguild.com) on Friday, August 6 starting at 9:00 am (no earlier). Please leave your name and phone number with your intention to participate in the sale.

Additional details are in the email, all Covid protocols will be in effect and the sale may be cancelled or changed if the protocols require.  Share our poster with friends! 

Membership Renewal forms are ready!  You can renew using the online form, which is sent automatically when you click submit, please don’t forget, your payment has to be sent separately to complete the renewal.  Or, if you prefer, a print version is available to those who want to print and mail their form.  Our Membership Fee is $35.00.  Please note the revised instructions for participating in the draws. If you have any questions, please email Nancy or Ruth at membership@kanataquiltguild.com; and we will be more than happy to assist you.
