Other MLH News:
We did not have a
quorum (17 people) at out September MLH Board meeting. According to our
Bylaws we could not conduct any business that needed a vote. Our
treasurer, in particular, is most concerned as we could not approve the budget
for the coming year. We needed this vote so MLH can conduct business as
usual. For this reason we want to make sure our MLH Guild Reps are aware
it is pretty important to try and attend board meetings. If you cannot
attend a meeting, please let us know by the Thursday before the meeting, and if
you have any kind of report from your guild or committee please make sure we
know about your news.
Please announce to
your guild members that the MLH Biennial show will be held at the
Guild reps.
Membership is greatly down in MLH. Please talk up our organization at
your meetings. Encourage your fiber artists to join. We
get 4 newsletters a year, can attend workshops one year, and workshops and
conference the next. MLH offers grants/scholarships to attend fiber
learning opportunities. Plus the biggest benefit of all is mingling with
many fiber artists from around the state and other regions at our conferences.
Finally, really
exciting news. MLH will celebrate their 50th Birthday/Anniversary at the
MLH Conference and workshops in 2009. It will be really fun to become a
part of this celebration, so join now and come celebrate with us!
Looking forward to
working with you for the good of MLH!
Sincerely,
Cathy McCarthy
