December 2022 General Membership Meeting & Holiday Party

Hello Piecemakers!

The VPQG Board will be hosting a Holiday Luncheon after the December 3rd meeting. We will hold a brief business meeting, draw the winning ticket to the 2022 Opportunity Quilt “Blooming Brilliance”, and then adjourn for a tasty meal together and some activities and games.

There will be games, door prizes, and a “make & take” activity for everyone.

You will be helping to decorate the tables with a *CHALLENGE* – put your crafting skills to work to create the tablescape decor! There will be prizes…

We have a styrofoam cone for you to fashion into a holiday tree. It is approximately 2.75″ x 7.25″ in dimension. What will you do with yours? Fabric? Moss? Ribbons? Paint and pompoms? It’s up to you how to finish it up.

We ask that you make it so it can stand up – they already have flat bottoms, so just make sure it doesn’t fall over and stays upright on the table for judging. You are welcome to sit it on a base if you’d like to raise it a bit higher but please know you will be judged on the decoration and not how high it is. 🙂

Write your name on the bottom of the stryo cone so we know whose is whose. 

A lot of you at the November meeting picked up your tree, so if you do not have yours, contact Kris to get yours. 

Dress in your festive gear and join your quilting friends for some camaraderie and fun!

Please note the change in the usual schedule to accommodate this event: 

• 10:00 am – Doors to FDC will open for socializing before the business meeting.     
• 11:00 am – Business meeting and 2022 Opp Quilt Ticket drawing     
• 11:30 am – Activities begin     
• 12:00 pm – Lunch is served

Please RSVP to the luncheon before Wednesday, 11/23. This is to ensure an accurate headcount for catering and activities supplies. RSVP by responding to this email!

On behalf of the Board, we look forward to seeing you and your creations!

We will mask during the meeting and during the make and take crafts, as we will be in close proximity, and unmasking while actively eating and drinking.

PLEASE NOTE: We are continuing our requirements (as voted by the VPQG Executive Board) for attendees to our meetings, classes, and events to be vaccinated for Covid-19. Anyone inside the building for our rental periods must have proof they are fully vaccinated, and post-14 days from their last injection. As voted on by the Executive Board 10/7/22, while we encourage masking at all times when meeting in person, we will allow for participants to remain unmasked where we remain 6-ft apart during classes and workshops. Out of an abundance of caution we will remain masked during General meetings, as we are in closer proximity than a 6-ft distance. We will remain masked for meetings unless actively eating or drinking while adequately spaced. This is a mask over the nose and mouth, and not a face shield.

As this is part of the operation of the Guild, this discussion and vote occurs at the Executive Board Meeting and the topic will not be part of the General meeting.  Until the requirement is rescinded, not masking properly is considered a disruption and you may be asked to leave.

If you have not already been to one of our meetings or events (since 9/2021) at the FDC please send a copy of your CDC vaccination record for COVID-19 or have it ready in hand or on your phone before you enter the building.
