The meeting was called to order by co-chair Shirley Rader. Roll call was answered with “What was your favorite subject when you were in school?”
The treasurer’s report was given by Bev. The Krazy Quilters from Maryville have invited the Piecemakers to their event on September 19, 2016. The theme is “Down on the Farm.”
