Welcome

Thank you to all members who braved the heat! Who knew March would be so unseasonably hot on the third Saturday?! We put in a request for more pleasant weather, but I guess it wasn't processed in time ;)

We will be meeting at Mulqueens Clubhouse, 10-5 with a break for lunch
There are a couple areas set for ironing and cutting, but we suggest bringing your own iron/cut station.
Just a reminder, for the most up-to-date information on our PHX Guild, refer to the blog. It’s updated the most frequently, and since not everyone does the social media thing, it’s the best place for me to devote efforts
The events calendar is up to date! Locations and times for upcoming events are listed on the Events page, as well as in the live calendar on the page.
IG is somewhat monitored - we try to post reminders, but with the new feed style, you might not see everything
FB - we are still having issues with Admin access, so it might not be the best place to get a hold of an officer
Emails are monitored pretty regularly if you have a question
Wee-treat class voting email was sent, missing a 4 responses as of Friday, voting will close April 1, and in the event of a tie, I’ll flip a coin. Once the class has been decided, there will be another email with supply information sent.
Amber will auto-check in ppl for wee treat, there will be a communication coming from her soon.
