Communications Becky, Committee Chair—Barbara O. Membership ,Stacey Philanthropy , Also present: MQG Rep Kelly Approve outstanding Board Minutes (March minutes were missing) Treasurer’s Report: CaryLyn announces we have 3925.24 in the operating budget. Quarterly report, Revenue/Expenses breakdown. Membership down, raffle down. Website is currently costing 2x what is budgeted, need to figure out a solution. Set/fixed costs as listed. We are saving money for a bigger event. Patrice asks if the IRS ((0N form had been submitted. Carylyn says this is not due until May. Forwarded to Carylyn.

Old Business: County Schools Credit Union needs all signers on the account to sign notification form. Now stating ALL must be present from now on for any changes, at the same time. CaryLyn says bylaws indicate each board member can sign a check. Kelly says we could meet at the Credit Union for the first 15 minutes of a regularly scheduled meeting night if required.

Letter of resignation from Georganna Hawley as VMQG member submitted for acceptance. Judy moves, Becky seconds. Annie notes that she never saw this email. SCCQG Meet the Teachers event, 4/9/16. Patrice and Judy plan to go. Patrice has a list of the speakers at the event. Budget for speakers currently set at $300/year. Judy can get for free her art teacher Christine Martin for a color presentation. Judy suggests local speaker good on binding. Patrice points out different modern bindings besides 90 degrees. Kelly says we should ask members about their interests for speakers. Becky says maybe go “all in” for a speaker. We are here to serve the members. Kelly and Becky reiterate this. CaryLyn suggests we have a speaker who brings in some new ideas with a new or exciting perspective— modern. Beck is less interested in techniques but more journey of an artist. Barbara asks if we should look at a poll/survey?

Judy and Patrice can as best way to poll/survey and get responses. Kelly says there is an old survey on the shared drive. Judy notes the speaker for May needs to know by 4/30/16 if she is part of the general meeting. She is going to talk about color.

Opportunity Quilt: Piecing done by Annie and Patrice 4/2/16 from Sarah W CAD drawing. Sarah cut all the sashing pieces and wants to have this done by General Meeting. Patrice says Georganna suggested soliciting a member of the guild who does not have a quilting business to donate their time to quilt the opportunity quilt. We will ask members who are not professional quilters. Becky says we could approach a business for philanthropy and to promote their business at the time of display. It’s worth asking. Kelly notes she has cards of local longarmers at her shop. Several members have volunteered to bind the quilt. Name for the quilt-sign up sheet. Becky suggests engaging members to decide at the meeting. Aim is to have the quilt finished for the Central Coast Shop Hop in June, if possible. We need to ask local quilters NOW. Feb-August was the time frame for last year’s quilt. Scott popped in to say 1900 tickets were printed last year. Quilt Host—between the completion of the quilt and the raffle drawing, someone is needed who will schedule the quilt to be displayed at meetings/locations wehre tickets can be sold. Who has the list of where the quilt went. Board has to take over quilt mum. Quilt display hanger belonged to Georganna, it was made of PVC. Becky can do online research for display pricing. Patrice discussed printing of tickets. Becky works at City Hall and can have tickets available at her work. PHILANTHROPY— Soliciting for organizations for donations. We can repeat organizations. Barb has a quilt that is unfinished that someone can take over quilting of. We discussed putting together kits. Judy notes no one has volunteered for Philanthropy. Kelly notes Georganna personally would ask individuals. Becky says the position can be split. AO suggest NICU, School on Wheels is mentioned. Kelly suggests not duplicating any CQA charities. Transitional housing at Salvation Army may need quilts. VMQG donation quilts need to be modern. Kelly suggest a Pinterest Board with modern tutorials. She has a few patterns for easy quilts to make. Becky will add Pinterest Board.

Storing quilts waiting to be donated also needs figuring out. Consider other than Saturdays for sew-ins. Kelly feels it is condescending to teach to modern quilt guild members vs non members. Feels that it has to be shown and not taught. VMQG is and should be modern as modern is what we are. Others who do not want to be all modern have other choices. Patrice says vignettes of modern quilts helpful Judy says when did it become said that only modern quilts can be shown. We ask what is modern about the quilt shared. We will ask membership about art quilts. Patrice mentions she and Judy are developing program From Awareness to Competency they plan to introduce at April meeting. Kelly notes this is not MQG directed. Patrice says we haven’t taken steps to lead quilters toward modern quilting. Kelly wants to see modern quilters. Becky wants focus to be on what members want.

Cheryl Collart of VC Arts Council spoke. She says we need to be a Modern Quilt Guild! Soliciting entries for exhibit at Govt Ctr. Not juried or judged—curated. She wants to encourage Modern Quilt Guild.

Regarding the Dog Show analogy, there is no prevention of bringing non modern quilts to share. CaryLyn says the analogy was to encourage more modern quilts be brought to guild. We will drop the dog/cat show description. Becky wants to reinforce collaboration, not the board telling definition of shared quilts. We reiterate that we are a Modern Quilt Guild. Members need to know we are evolving. Survey coming out. No directives/bylaws are changing. Anyone can talk to any board members about this. CaryLyn notes that Board meeting discussions should be the same at the general meeting. Barb said MGQ newsletter came out with good ideas for more interactive activities. Next meeting we will have members give three words that mean quilting to them. We will ask what their interests are: speakers, challenges, techniques? We will ask them to list three words that describe the guild to them. We will have members sit at round tables with a board member at each table, the ice breaker will be on the tables. Each table will discuss the topics one at a time. Becky suggest a representative from each table place the suggestions on a poster board for consensus. We need to focus on our members, philanthropy, and being with other quilters. Monthly Challenges— April—Completed: Bring your 12” Alber’s color block.
