Hi all,

We will be meeting this Thursday, January 16 at 6:30 pm at Broadmoor United Methodist Church at 10230 Mollylea Dr. in Baton Rouge.

The minutes from Nov. are attached. There were none from Dec. since that was our Christmas party. 

I have also attached the application form for the guild. It's time to renew our dues for the upcoming year. Please fill out the form and bring it along with your dues of $12. Fran will be collecting these. 

Mynan and Sharon will be giving us an introduction to the internet challenge they have been participating in. It is called Patterns by Jen Color Challenge. This will be interesting whether you are moved to join the internet group or not. You never know where your next inspiration might come from!

We will also be playing Bingo. If you would like to participate, please bring one fat quarter in either LSU purple or gold. 

Happy New Year! See ya on Thursday.
