Business Meeting
- The Nominating Committee provided the names for the Office of President and the Office of Secretary and opened the floor for additional nominations. Having none, a verbal affirmation for the election of officers was called for. Linda D. was elected to the two-year term at DVHSG President and Caryl C. was named as DVHSG Secretary for an additional two years. All in favor.

Morning Class
Our first class was with Janis Note of Noteworthy Needle. Janis instructed us how to drill foam pumpkins! It always amazes me when a teacher comes up with something so totally new. 
As with all projects, we learned that pattern placement was the most important and difficult part.
Janis brought a lot of samplers and we all enjoyed learning to drill the foam pumpkins!
We assembled the pin cushion and covered the box and lid with coordinating paper.
