March 6, 2023

 Twenty-one amazing members of TAGY assembled on March 6, 2023, in the Grizzly Room at the Cody, WY, library:  Jan W, Jan H, guest Tracy, Alice, guest Karista, Barbara H, Marybeth, Barb P, Laurie J, Lori R, Sue B, Vanda, Sylvie, Ben, Judy, guest Amanda, Ellen, Carol, Pam, Susie, Lili.

Coffee Sponsorship for Pardners Cafe:  An envelope was passed around to donate to sponsoring a week of coffee/tea at the cafe where we generally have lunch before the meeting.  Jan Wilbur gathered enough for one week at $125, and also almost enough for a second week.  We need $51 more dollars for the second week, so the envelope will be passed again at next month's meeting.

Challenge due at April meeting:  Work on the circular weaving that you learned today.  Bring it to April meeting.

Annual Challenge is due in July. The theme is Pair/Pear/Pare.  100-inch perimeter maximum.  Irregular shapes encouraged.

April Program:  Lili...to be announced.

Monthly Programs:  We need program leaders for June, July and August.  Lori R MAY give the program in August.

Christmas Party Gift Exchange:  Keep thinking of a theme!

Announcement:  Lili said Rhonda Schmiltzer will have an art show on March 31st at the Worland Museum.  Some members took acrylic paint pouring class from her.
