to Enfield, Ithaca, UlyssesAdd the logo pictures.Perhaps Eric Carter and his student group could put this program together.
Sue Thompson reported listings need to be put all together for the history book.
Ann Rider and Alice Linton visited Quilters Corners and picked out the fabric for the quilt. Ann Rider will contact someone with a long arm machine to quilt the quilt. They are hoping
to use the new Community Building to work on the quilt. Ann Rider will send out an e-mail regarding details of quilt meeting.
