November ProgramSherry Werum
Sherry has lived in Woodland, CA with her husband, Mark, since 1972. They have 3 grown daughters and 8 grandchildren. It may not sound very interesting to live in the same small town for all those years, but Sherry and Mark love to travel. When they return home after a trip, together they capture the history and depth of the country they visited in a quilt. Mark does the drafting and Sherry does the piecing and quilting. She loves the challenge of discovering new methods and techniques needed to com-plete these original design quilts.
Sherry made her first quilt in 1973 and since then has won Best of Show and first place awards locally, at Pacific International Quilt Festival, and at the California State Fair. Sherry has been teaching quilting classes and lecturing since 2006, but has been sewing pro-fessionally for 35 years.
She will not be doing a workshop since we didn’t get enough signups.

Snippets . . .from the president
Happy November everyone. Thanksgiving is two weeks away! That means non-stop busy for the rest of the year for most of us. I heard that every Friday will be Black Friday for the rest of the month. I like that idea better. Not that I will be shopping much (except maybe online), as my surgery was moved up to the 16th of this month. So I will miss the November meeting. But there is a chance I will be able to attend the Christmas Pot Luck after all. I will try. I am feeling confident that I will have a quick and easy recovery.
I just recently asked for a tally of new members for the year. We gained 13 new members this year! I feel remiss that I didn’t personally ac-knowledge each new member as they joined, so I would like to do it now. The new members are Tracy Palumbo, Gail Markovich, Ginny Rey-man, Janet Smith, Debbie Campora, Josie Carraher, Barbie Robertson, Maureen Niemeyer, Mary Bengel, Patsy Harger, Dorothy Irwin, Rachele Doty and Kathleen Cunningham. If I missed anyone, I apologize. Please let me know. A belated welcome to Golden Valley Quilt Guild ladies. I hope that you will be able to attend the Christmas Pot Luck. It is a lot of fun, and the food is always great! And it would give the rest of us a chance to get to know you better.
Just a reminder, the November meeting is on Nov. 17th, and the De-cember meeting and pot luck is on Saturday the 3rd. If I don’t make it to the pot luck, please have a wonderful holiday time and I will see you next year.

Zoe Meegan - Chaperoning--Not for the Faint of Heart!
I'm visiting my 93 year old Aunt in Connecticut and get an email from my daughter asking if I'd be interested in chaperon-ing my 10 year old granddaughter's 4th/5th grade field trip to the "gold country." Apparently they're having difficulty finding enough parents to chaperone. So I'm thinking, gold country, why that's right up the hill from me in Coloma. Why not? I reply back that it sounds like fun.
The next correspondence I’m copied on is an email sent from my daughter to the teacher responding to her request for veri-fication of my fitness to serve.And here's what it says:
“My mom is a very fit and active 65 (pilates, water aerobics, bocce ball, pickle ball). She is, of course, retired and great with kids of all ages. She helped chaperone Maia's slumber birthday party last May and managed to survive that, plus the girls loved her.”
Apparently with this glowing report, I pass my first test, be-cause the next email I get is from the teacher outlining what I need to do in order to chaperone. And here are the hurdles:
Get fingerprintedCopy of your driver's licenseCopy of your car insuranceCopy of your Good Driver's Record. This can be obtained from the DMV website (https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal /dmv/detail/online/dr/welcome). A direct print out from the website can be turned into the office.Signed Driver Form (attached below).
I remember in the ‘good old days’ when if you wanted to chap-erone a class field trip (which by the way was a day trip to the post office, sewage plant, bakery, bowling alley, etc.), you just let the teacher know and showed up. Not any more.
Meanwhile, I receive an email with a link to the school’s Web site, where I now can finally read all the details about this gold country field trip. It’s five days (yes, you read that correctly) and not right up the hill in Coloma, but in Sonora which is 2 hours away. This is news to me, but what scares me the most is it says “be sure to bring your sleeping bag!” But I will not be deterred. After all, they are now depending on me.
So when I get back from Connecticut, I begin checking off the items on my list. Number #1, get fingerprinted. I find a place
in Town Center to get this done. I show up and almost drop dead when he tells me it will cost $90. I’m astounded. I tell him I held a Top Secret clearance when I worked at Lockheed and all I wanted to do was chaperone my granddaughter’s field trip! Wasn’t that good enough. “No, that was Federal these fingerprints are from State.” Anyway, I get fingerprinted and check #1 off the list. Items #2, #3, and #5 are easy, but that leaves #4--obtain a Good Driving Record from the DMW. Now mention of an interaction with the DMV is even scarier to me then the thought of needing a sleeping bag. But onward...
I get online with the DMV and right away run into trouble setting up a personal account (no surprise there). I continue to try for a couple of days, but to no avail. Finally, as I have decided that I will most likely need to take a trip to the DMV office, I see a telephone number at the bottom of the Web site to call for help. So before I head off, I give them a call and, sur-prise of all surprises, after no more than three rings, an actual person picks up the phone and walks me through the process. Two dollars later and with my Good Driving Record in hand, I can now check off #4.
So now all documentation has been obtained and submitted and now I just need to round up that sleeping bag. But before I head off, I get a call from my daughter telling me that Maia is a little apprehensive about me coming. She’s afraid I might cramp her style. So with that thought in mind, I make a prom-ise to myself to give Maia a wide berth whenever possible.
I meet the kids up in Sonora and spend a great 5 days at the Old Oak Ranch. I’m thrilled to find that the weather is perfect, the sleeping bags are to use for cover ON my BED, and the kids are fantastic--all sixteen of them. We are up at 7:00 and lights out by 9:00. I’m in charge of a cabin with four girls, which is an absolute blast.
Though the process to get cleared for chaperone duty was nothing like we experienced in the ‘good old days,’ there were still echoes from those simpler days. . .
Boys still have cootiesGirls still have that high pitched scream that will peel paint Boys can and will go 5 days with no showerThe water balloon game still gets out of control and ev-eryone gets wet Girls think the boys are plotting an attack on themBoys are oblivious
I had a ball. I think that the other chaperones and teacher were amazed that this old lady could not only keep up with them and the kids, but often out did them in stami-na and enthusiasm. And on our way to breakfast on our final day, Maia came up to me and asked me if I would sit at her table for breakfast that day. I guess I was successful in giving her space.
