Old Business: We discussed the fair in August and everyone had a wonderful time and wants to continue using the tent. We had a larger tent this year giving us extra room to store things in the back.We all talked about the fair and what we could do to improve next years displays. It was decided to start early and have volunteers to take over different aspects of the fair. Mimi volunteered to organize other members and start get displays together throughout the year. Some from our projects involved with the Learning Tree. Amy will be printing banners for the fair, Marilyn has her natural dyes display. Sheri will have pictures of different sheep breeds. Linda has her wool display and Mim will continue to do the display for the "Sheep to Mittens".
New Business: Heidi will continue to up date our list for the library to be posted on the blog. Any duplicates will be offered in the "White Elephant" sale at the Christmas meeting. Doris is keeping track of the equipment the guild owns and this to will be posted on the blog for members who would like to know what is offered to loan out.
Sharon invited the lady's from "The Girl Farm" to bring their Jacob fleeces they have for sale to the October meeting. Amy is in the process of moving the email list off the UNR server and on to a yahoo list.
Virva will be contacting the library to see if we can use their equipment necessary to show some of the DVD's the guild has now. Hopefully we can use the library room in January or February.
After asking Nancy Grundy if she would like to hold the Christmas meeting at her house again, a vote was taken and Virva will cancel Bartley Ranch and the Christmas meeting will be in Carson City at Nancys. Setting up a car pool to Carson was considered.
Meeting plans for next year will include Sky Peak, Bartley Ranch school house and a few members homes (Doris and Mim) in the spring and summer.

Amy had her new needle holder for socks projects.
Nancy handed out patterns and talked about making Stephanie "Ruffle Scarf.
