          you need to fill out the volunteer sheet for the museums records and
          take a photo of it to send to Carolyne so we can keep track of the

          6)  APFA  (Alberta
          Parenting for the Future Association) is always looking for donations

          items to be put on display for children to pick from for their loved
          ones.  It does not need to be sewn but we do ask that they be
          handmade.  Items must be handed in before the end of November. THIS IS COMING

          7) Canada
          Day:   As some of you know The Canadian
          Quilters Association is Collecting 12 and a half inch slab blocks and
          slab block quilt tops in preparation for the Canada's Big Quilt
          Bee this June.  Their goal is to make 1000 quilts to
          donate to Ronald McDonald house for Canada Day.  They ask that
          blocks contain at least one piece of the Canada's 150th fabric from Northcott. 
          Carolyne has the instructions and info to hand out to anyone
          interested  
           
           
          8)  We know with the holiday season
          approaching stress can occasionally get the better of us so just a
          friendly reminder to be respectful of others.  There's no reason
          to bring negativity and drama with you, when we are all there
          for the same reason.  To sew with great people.  Each and
          every member bring more value and experience to the group and
          there is room for everyone.
