OVQG Membership
Yearly membership runs from October 1 to September 30 at a cost of $70. Membership benefits include use of the guild library, participation in guild activities, retreats and workshops, displaying work at our quilt shows, access to the Members Only area of the website and the camaraderie of more than 100 talented and enthusiastic quilters and fabric artists.
The Membership table is set up at every meeting, and there will always be a friendly face there to greet you. Visitors are invited to sign the guest book and make a name tag. Various guild pins are available for sale at the Membership table.
Meetings are held every Tuesday morning from 9 a.m. to noon from September through May. Many different activities take place at our meetings: tutorials, demos, speakers, trunk shows, business meetings, etc. The library is open, and a Show and Tell session is held at every meeting. The program starts with Show and Tell at 9:30 followed by announcements. Check out the Activities and Program pages for more information.
All meetings are held at the Okanagan Mission Community Hall, 4409 Lakeshore Road (corner of Lakeshore and DeHart) in Kelowna. (See Contact page for map.) Tea and coffee are provided, but members are asked to bring their own cups or mugs.
MESSAGE FROM THE INCOMING EXECUTIVE:
Thank you to all who attended the AGM on Sept 21, 2021 where the new Executive was elected. A big thanks to those who volunteered for the vacant positions. We all know that our guild will only run smoothly if we all get involved at the level which fits into our commitment time. Many of us are in the sandwich generation and those grandchildren are certainly requiring more of our attention than ever.
Due to the uncertainty of the future months and the Covid requirements we must remain as flexible as possible in our planning. We will attempt to keep everyone up to date through the website.
Some changes have been made. The Program position has been replaced by a representative from each of the sub-groups. These groups will take on the task of presenting tutorials or workshops for the entire group. We also will be preparing for the Quilt show in May, and the after Holidays meetings will be focused on this event. Marg Frisque is awaiting your ideas.
The NICU quilts are being completed at a rate that should keep the hospital full for the year, but Barb will be letting us know if we start to run short. Batting will be available in Oct and kits are being put together as we speak. Christmas stocking production has already begun.
