OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS
The November evening meeting will be held on Thursday, November 1, from 6-8:30pm. Rebecca will discuss how to view and prioritize your UFOs.

Thank you to everyone who came out to help sew during our Community Outreach sew day on September 30. Our small group of guild members worked on finishing up some of the STEAMfest quilts, sorting donated fabrics and making up quilt kits, and starting new quits to be donated in the future. And thank you to the Albert A. Bartlett Science Communication Center for allowing us to use their beautiful space at the university.
