The meeting was called to order by Cheri Walker with 26 members present.
A motion was made by Tracy Dempsey and seconded by Deb Behringer to accept the minutes from our previous meeting as published. Motion carried.

The Treasurer's report was given by Margaret Arnot. We have a current balance of $6,716.00 which includes $978.00 in Retreat deposits. Our quilt giveaway account has a balance of $2,616.91. She has $155.00 from our recent sales at Valley Market and $80.00 from our membership to deposit.
Priscilla Palacio shared the June birthdays. Happy Birthday, ladies!
Vicki Shafer reported that the Southern Colorado Center for Youth has dissolved due to lack of funding. If anyone has ideas of where we can donate quilts to, please let Vicki or Cheri know.
Carolyn asked that everyone going to Retreat pay their balance in full by the July meeting. She currently has 26 ladies who have signed up. Remember that if you haven't volunteered for a committee or held an office this year you need to donate a quilt.
Our July meeting will be a picnic in Rye Park at the playground. Everyone needs to bring their own lunch and beverage. A motion was made by Carolyn Baker and seconded by Tracy Dempsey that the guild provide dessert. Motion carried.
Our August program will be presented by Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum on the History of International Sun Bonnet Sue.
Our September program will be presented by Melissa Kibby on how to make a collage quilt. She will be at our July meeting with more information regarding this class.
Our October program will be presented by Kris Sparks on how to make a Christmas tree skirt. She will have supply lists at our August meeting so you may cut fabrics before class.
Our November program will be presented by Deb Behringer and Cheri Walker. Topic to be determined.
Our December Christmas party will be hosted by Vachon Bouchard and Mary Lou Tyus. It was suggested that they check the cost of using the new room at Three Sisters.
There was some discussion regarding having another garage sale in 2027. Carolyn made a motion and seconded by Tracy that we schedule one so that everyone can start collecting items now.
Show and Tell was held.
Meeting was adjourned for Robyn's program on making a Bargello Table Runner.
