It amazes me how many people I have met that are on the board. Our quilt retreats first year (this will be the third) a couple of us were talking and we took a show of hands. About half of the people there were on the board. Some were people from church or that I went to school with, but didn't know they were on the board. Oh, and the ones that weren't on the board were then encouraged to do so.
Lori, good luck with your surgery. I want it soooooo bad, but my insurance won't cover it. I've been through the classes twice thinking it was gonna happen just to be let down by, proboly, some skinny little wench, at the insurance place. LOL Just kidding with that last one!! I am woman! Hear me roar! I will loose this extra baggage attached to my mid-section.
