I am predident of our guild again. Was for 6 years previous. I hope we don't make people feel unwelcome. We have a welcoming committee at the door. This year we are going to try something new. As a rule ladies always sit in their little groups so we are going to ask everyone to move over a few spaces and intorduce themselves to their neighbour. I always encourage newcomers to join in . I know what feeling left out feels like and I sure don't want anyone to feel that way. I love talking to strangers so I make a point of talking to people that come. I hope no one feels left out in our guild. I want to know about it if they do so that we can change that. We all have to start somewhere and what better place then at a guild with a bunch of goofy quilters.
