Treasurer’s Report: Doris reported the guild received $50 from the sale of the donated floor loom. The guild has $3762.37 with 50 members.
Library Report: Heidi reported the equipment list and dates of upcoming events are now on our website. Max bought a copy of “Field Guide to Fleece” at the Black Sheep Gathering for our guild, $14.95.
Old Business:
1. Max got 2 blue ribbons for her hat and Baby Surprise entry at Black Sheep. Doris had wonderful experiences, ask her all about it! Her entries did very well too. Myna and Ashley went to Black Sheep also and enjoyed themselves so much they’re planning on going again next year.
2. Mim reported there might be a need for spinners to demo at Bower’s Mansion on July 26th for the Nevada 150th anniversary. More info to come.
3. Our next meeting is at Anna Harvey’s in California. Mim will put directions to her house on the website. Call Anna at 916-217-8220 or 530-994-3617 to sign up for classes or if you’d like a booth ($25) to sell items. Check out anna.got.wool.com for the class schedule. We won’t have a formal meeting that day but plan to gather together before lunch.
4. Virva is going to Gold Discovery Days. Contact her if you plan to go too.
5. Amy said CSSW will just do demos at the Nevada 150th Anniversary fair July 30-August 3. She hasn’t heard back any details from them. She is discouraged that there hasn’t been any advertising.
6. Sharie will go to the Nevada County Fair in Grass Valley to demo spinning, etc.
7. Sharon Campbell likes the Plumas Sierra County Fair in Quincy August 13-17.
New Business:
1. Doris met a mother daughter business, Spinja Fiber Arts, recently and thought the guild might like to invite them to our September retreat and bring a truck show.
