Julia Wareing welcomed everyone to the

Trunk Show and Potluck dinner

Julia presented a $2,700. check to the John Lysek for the Communty Gardens

Next year the community gardens will be devoting space for the food bank.

They had trouble this year with someone stealing the produce.  They will be trying               to get a better system to prevent that next year.

Stacey McClellan donated the roast beef for the pot luck, Lori Jarmin made

 the rolls and everyone else brought potatoes, salad and desserts. 

The

tables were decorated by the board.  Everyone received an eraser

and a little bag of candy?  Why an eraser?  It gets out the fleece batting

out of your cutting mat. 

The

TRUNK SHOW

was presented by

LeAnn Price

of Shelley,

her sister Kathy Olkowski and a friend, Des Mecham on Vintage sheets.

 LeAnn said that Des has the great ideas and then she is the doer and

gets them made. 

She finds the vintage sheets from the DI, yard sales, estate sales, grandma's closets and friends.  She said they are cotton/polyester and she likes

to mix them up with jelly rolls and layer cakes. 

 A lot of times the bottom

sheet is worn out in the middle, but you have all the fabric around the edge to

be used. 

You can also use tablecloths.
