Meeting of September 15, 2017

President Kris Peerand opened the meeting at 10:15 a.m. She thanked Carol Causey for hosting.

Kris told us about several articles Vilija Deutschman wrote for Cinch Notes this summer, and encouraged us to read them if we hadn't already.

Joan Anderson reported on the Makers Fair at the Lafayette Library this summer. Joan and Reba Siero represented Diablo Weavers. Joan said it was well attended. They brought rigid heddle looms and each participant wove a book mark. Joan reported the project was well received, and they had asked us back for next year.

Treasurer's Report: Vilija passed a report that showed money received and how it was spent. We have a combined bank balance of $2045.
