Membership and Auction

Membership: Renewals and New

I, your friendly neighborhood treasurer, am now able to accept membership forms and dues! In fact, I already have one completed form and check.

Remember to fill out your membership form from the Big QU web site and bring it in or mail it to me.

If you mail it, please provide a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) so that I can mail your membership card.

Checks should be made out to Arlington QU.

Annual Auction Night
The Annual Auction night is coming up, second Monday in May!

Here are some auction payment guidelines (note this is from a previous email sent in April):

I strongly encourage (request!) that you bring a check and make it out to Arlington QU. Checks make it easier for us to track the money, especially differentiating between membership dues and the auction. It also helps us track down any errors that occur, especially if you note on the check its for membership and auction. Last year we had a few people pay their membership dues twice!

I will not be bringing change, so if you pay with cash it'll need to be exact. If we have change we'll make it. The mini auction went like this and it worked out. (Yes, this is my insidious plot to encourage you to write a check!)

Trust me when I say that checks make things easier for us tracking revenue, i.e. the auction winings, membership, etc. Especially near the end when people are lining up to pay out and we are still keeping track of the on-going auction.

The other thing that'll be helpful is to have your membership form already filled out. I'll bring some membership forms to the remaining meetings.

All this helps to make the auction go smoothly and we appreciate your assistance. Let's have fun!

Remember checks are to be made out to: Arlington QU


Also, remember that the proceeds of the auction go back into the general fund and help to pay for speakers and other activities.

See you at bee or the next meeting!

November Meeting Featuring Sandra Smith

Our November meeting was a lot of fun. Sandra Smith was our guest speaker. She had lots to show and tell. Truly a spectacular show and an inspirational speaker!

We also had the last round of the Round Robin. Here are some pictures of the quilts in progress. To see a bigger version of the pictures, just click on them!






Remember that next month is our Holiday Potluck Dinner. Please bring a covered dish or desert to share! Also bring along your plate, silver and napkins; although plates, plasticware and napkins will be provided!

See you next month and at bee!

July 07 Bee

Birthday Bee! Members share cake!It's the first bee of the month and that means Birthday Bee! Of course, this means dessert! We had two delicious cakes. One was a warm chocolate cake with chocolate icing. The other, a cool white frosted peanut butter cake! What a delightful contrast!


Member seeking advice on a quilt project in progress.
We do many things at bee, one of those is asking for, receiving, and giving advice on those ongoing projects. Here two members discuss the finer art of color choices, wonder if more blocks need to be made, or discuss the best setting. Its always helpful to have some input.


Members working on various projects.The other things we do is just hang out and work on a project (quilting, knitting, cross-stitch, embroidery), update the chapter blog, and even review our cell phone messages!


Lots of conversations
Or just hang out and chat about life, kids, trips, vacations, share herbs, etc...
Sharing experiences and herbs


Just a reminder that deposits for the Fall Retreat are due ASAP! There are still some spaces left.


That's it for this week. I hope you enjoyed the peek into our weekly bees. Please leave a comment and let me know. See you at bee!
