REPORTS
Library Report- Gabriele spoke- there are no new books this month. It was suggested that the current member list of library books is incorrect- the book titled “ the ‘Art of the Yoke” is really called “Simply Seamless Sweaters” .
Equipment Report - Ann N spoke _ there is a rug warp set up and ready. The newly purchased peg loom was really well enjoyed at Heritage days- perfect for our very interested kids.
Workshops- none scheduled at this time
Blog Report- Bea says all up to date
Facebook Page- Bea says all up to date
Historian Report- Anne P read a lovely letter from Judith Glibbery regarding her years as a guild member with us.
OLD BUSINESS
IPE- this discussion is going to be held over until April when we will have more information and can better make an informed decision.
Piccadilly Mall Display- please check it out, it is decked out in green for March and looks beautiful, thank you to Elvi and Darlene.
Salmon Arm Fair report- Lynne spoke- after Sherry and I met with the General Manager Jan and Phil Wright -the President of the Salmon Arm Agricultural Society we have three options available
1- Withdraw Guild participation from the Salmon Arm Fair
2- Attend the fair and not have any selling by our artisans, this would be at no cost to the guild
3-Attend the fair, accept the offer of a 10 by 10 booth at 175.00 (which is half of the commercial cost) and have the artisan goods for sale occupy that space only.
Jackie made a motion that we attend the fair as a guild and pay the 175.00 for a half price commercial vendor space and that the cost (175.00) would be split between selling artisans.
The motion was seconded by Marg Fryatt and passed “ All in Favour"
Spinning Night at the library- Bea spoke and states that there are 4-5 regulars that attend.
