Quilter of the Year
Congratulations to Nancy Dempsey for her being named Quilter of the Year. Nancy is well deserving of this honor. She is a member who steps in at every emergency or task that needs help. She pulled the program together this year when personal problems caused Rosemary Bray to step down. She provides a raffle each month and will be acting co-chair of the kitchen at the Quilt Show.
MVQ succeeds when members of Nancy’s caliber take part!!
Congratulation Janice Jones
Janice was named artist of the month for December by the mayor of Methuen. For more information, see article in the Tribune.
In Sympathy
Long time former member Ruby Smith, 89, passed away this week. Ruby was an active member of our guild for many years with her sidekick Grace McKay.
Sincerest Sympathy
In the past couple of weeks, members and former members have lost loved ones.
Our sympathies go out to Janice Jones, on the loss of her mother. And former member Linda Simmons, on the loss of her father.
It is always difficult to lose a loved one, but this time of year makes it doubly hard. Our hearts and prayers go out for our friends and their families.
