Old Business:
                         1.  I just wanted to thank Anna Harvey for everyone at the guild to your wonderful
                              Fiber Farm Festival.  We all learned so much from all the classes and demos
                              that were offered, and especially enjoyed buying interesting items from the
                              vendor.  The food was a wonderful treat and what a fun time we all had.
                              Thank you Anna Harvey!!!!
