Don't forget--this month's general meeting (April 25th) will start at 6:30. With an earlier start, perhaps we will not have the "rushed" feeling to- ward the end of the meet- ing. Have a great April, and try not to eat all of your Easter basket candy in one sitting. Be safe! Gladys Greetings from Gladys Community Service Ladies, we had 19 quilts turned in for the March 29th meeting. Thank you. Our stash is growing for the give- away in June. Dee Jagerhorn with the coop group, Millie Berryhill, Beryl Burtis, Cooky Amarel, Judy Marti- nez for the Thursday Stitch- ers, Waneta Ford, and Rae Brougher turned in quilts. Evelyn Nolan turned in two shriner bags. We ap- preciate the time and work you put into these quilts and they will be do- nated to agencies in our area. Please consider working on the Community Ser- vice team. Community Service will need three or four people to work on this worthwhile team. A new team will be needed soon. Let Gladys or someone on the present team know if you would like to do Community Service. I would like to thank Lisa Lundin and June Muncy for their leadership at the Community Service booth at the quilt show. Many other people helped make blocks which will be made into quilts for fu- ture giveaways. Lisa and June have donated a lot of their time and work to Community Service. Muriel Van Middlesworth The April 28 th meeting for QGNQ will be held at the SYO Building in Sutter. Doors open at 10 and the meeting starts at 11.
