The meeting was called to order at 6 pm by Vice President Meralee Wilson. Members and guests were welcomed and invited to participate in the Guild’s Spring Potluck Meal.
Following the potluck, Jean Amundson made a motion to approve the April general meeting minutes, with Rose Shaw seconding. The motion passed.

2019 Quilt Show – Virginia Dale and Deborah Cagle volunteered to be the Small Gym Hanging Coordinators and Barbara Kinzel will handle the August 1 Set-Up Day Potluck.
