Old Business
Quilt Show committee requests the purchase of additional Quilt Show Street Banners. Janet Webster received a quote of 5 sets (10 banners) for $964.50; 10 sets (20 banners) for $1415.00 plus shipping.

Jean Amundson presented the following motion as requested from the last meeting. Policy Change:
Any unbudgeted gifts to committee chairs or other members to thank them for “jobs well done” should be on an individual, non circulated basis. The motion was seconded by Sue Stephenson and passed by a voice vote.
New Business
Latimer Display – Jean Amundson brought up the idea to display the Quilt Show Blue Ribbon Winners from the Quilt Show at the Latimer Center in Tillamook. It would be “good advertisement” for the Quilt Show. Jean will contact Latimer and see if the quilts can be hung from mid-June to mid-July. There are 19 professionally judged Blue Ribbon Winners, only professionally judged quilts will be hung. Jean is willing to head up the committee. Nan Scott moved to approve the hanging of the 2019 Blue Ribbon Winners in 2020 at Latimer Center. Elizabeth Wood seconded the motion and it was passed by a voice vote.
Judy Neimeyer Retreat will be removed from the membership booklet, pg #57, 1b.
Guild Equipment, page 53 will be inventoried and space made available for storage at Atonement Lutheran or the storage unit. Rental of the Guild Equipment is intended for “personal” not “business” use. The borrowing form will be posted on the web. Nan will work up a draft for the new borrowing form and the Executive Committee will review the check-out procedures at the next meeting. Check-out requests should be received before the Executive Board Meeting and the damage deposit check will be returned when items are returned in working, non damaged condition. Pam Grindell and Ann Flescher volunteered to inventory the closet.
A motion was made by Ginger Dale that all equipment owned by the Quilt Guild will be stored at Atonement Lutheran Church or the Guild storage unit. Motion was seconded by Jackie Stankey and passed by a voice vote.
Audit – Elizabeth Wood reported the books were in great shape. The audit committee has one recommendation that the check and reimbursement form be together. Elizabeth asked if the audit committee needed to be represented at all board meeting. Will be discussed further at a later meeting, perhaps put audit under the finance committee so it would not have to be present at the executive meeting unless giving an audit report.
Block of the Month – Nan Scott reported packets for paperless piecing flower blocks will be at the next meeting.
Challenge Quilt – Ginger Dale reported 45 medallions have been received so far, remember to return the medallion in the plastic bag and that a portion of each fabric in the packet should be used. Please return unused material for future use.
Communication – Melissa Hollenbeck reminded the board that there will be primary BLOGS 2X monthly on the Guild website. Other notices as requested.

Sue reminded the board that Community Quilters will conduct a workshop this coming Saturday, March 23rd from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. at Atonement. No charge, and attendees will have the opportunity to learn how to make a dog/cat bed, tie a quilt, design a quilt top, sew on sashings and borders to enlarge quilts, make a burp cloth and many other activities throughout the day. Members can come and go as they are able, and do not need to bring anything except a sewing machine if they will be working on a pet bed or anything else where they would sew. The committee will supply all the fabric and cutting supplies. Pizza will be ordered for lunch and attendees need to bring whatever they would like to drink during the day.

Lots of fun!
Hospitality – no report
Librarian – Pam Grindell is looking for the old list of books on the cart, Nan will send her a copy.
Membership – Ruth Johnson reminded everyone to be sure to pick-up update membership sheets at the membership meetings. Ruth showed a bookmark that she has available which has the meeting schedule on it, intended for use at quilt shops. There are 196 members, two new members Lauren Strach and Marilyn Workman, both from Yachats. The next update page will be in a couple of months. All the directories have been mailed to those members who requested it. Ruth requested direction/coaching to get the online directory moving forward. Not everyone wants their information on the website so there will be a BLOG post and an announcement at the memberhship meeting informing the membership of the intended plan to post the directory on the website, members can request “not to be included in the online directory. The directory would be password protected.
A reminder that we start evening meetings in April. Ruth informed the Board that the April 2020 meeting will be on Maundy Thursday and asked if the meeting should be changed to a “day” meeting to avoid conflict with the Atonement Lutheran Church activities. A motion was made by Ruth Johnson to change the April 2020 meeting to a day meeting. Motion was seconded by Darcy de la Rosa and passed by a voice vote.
