President’s Corner
October 2020 www.manateepatchworkers.org
Friends, I seem to be sounding like a broken record! Same thing over and over. This virus has really made an impact. However, many good things are going on with our guild! Ryan’s Cases for Smiles is beginning to wind down. I know I’ve collected many, many pillowcases. The other ladies in the group are collecting the last of the finished pillowcases so that we can announce the winner at the October 5 Facebook Live. That meeting will feature one of our newer members, Laura Lawson, who has some wonderful surprises for us. You will find a ballot in this newsletter so that you can vote for some of our board for 2021-2022. You will also be able to vote by email. I will shortly be sending out an email message to which you can respond. The board wanted you to have a couple of options. You have to have your ballot to us by November 9 for it to count. Mary has agreed to run again for Vice President, however, she would really appreciate a guild member stepping into this position. Most if not all of 2021 has been planned, and has some projections into 2022. I really enjoyed the Vice Presidency when I was a relatively new member, so don’t use “I’m new” as an excuse. Someone please step up. The board is now exploring a couple ways you can pay your dues. We will send out a couple options to you in No-vember. Either way you must send in a completed applica-tion. More to come on this. I want to finish by personally thanking the Board - Mary Lewis, Susan Fickey, Robin Fouraker, June Cannon, Dar-lene Schwartz, Janice Dentler, Carolee Cuba, Lora Lech-manick, and Sue Baker. They have certainly made my job as President easy. Hugs and chocolate, Sheila “Don’t just count your blessings. Be the blessing other people count on.”
October Meetings
We’ll have two Facebook Live meetings in
October. On October 5 we’ll be visiting Laura Lawson’s studio, and on October 19
we’ll be in Mary Lewis’s. Be sure to join us at the Facebook Manatee Patchworkers
private group. If you haven’t yet become a member, contact Susan Fickey for your
invitation.
Stay tuned and be sure to check next month’s newsletter for our November studio visits,
and keep working on pillowcases, dog beds and cat mats, and those great charity quilts!
Stay safe and busy!

Go easier on yourself. Whatever you do today, simply let it be enough. Bonnie k. Hunter
Fight for the things you care about, but do it in a way that
others will follow you. Ruth Bader Ginsberg 1933-2020
Help Wanted! We have an election coming up for half of our board.
Since no one has volunteered to take over as Vice President, I’ll be running again, but I would love to
have a partner, assistant, or someone who would like to become familiar with the job in anticipation of
taking over in two years. It’s a fun job, and once the current pandemic is finally behind us we’ll be back to
recruiting speakers and teachers. In the meantime we’re all learning to make use of virtual meeting
spaces.
Think of all those skills or people you would like to see at our meetings and have an opportunity to
provide interesting and fun activities for the guild! Let me know if you have any interest or would like to have
more information—I’d love to hear from you. Mary Lewis
