January meeting 2010

The Las Vegas Silver Doll-ers met January 9, 2010 at the Boulder City library. Minutes were recorded by Iris Puccini:

The treasurer, Bobbye Kee reported that the club currently has $1,315.56 in the treasury.
The location for future meetings was discussed. Lynn said we can use the small room at the library for the Feb. meeting which will be held on Feb. 13. The program will be lining a shadow box and directed by Mary Ashcraft.

The March meeting will be the mermaid (or curvy lady) challenge. Hope everyone's been working hard on that as they should be lots of fun.

Discussion was held about the many wonderful teachers available to us.andy Leal will contact some for classes and rates. A lottery for classes was discussed in the event that more members wished to take a class than the teacher could accommodate. The general consensus was that members should be at the meeting to sign up for the classes they want. If a member does, however, sign up for a class, she (or he) is responsible for filling their spot should something come up to make it impossible for them to attend. The reasoning is that the cost is split among the no. of people taking the class, and drop-outs would incur unexpected expenses for the remainder of the students.

March is sign up for the doll show. Micki and Fran will check for deadline for submitting dolls. Fran has a list of workers for the quilt show. Everyone needs to make a minimum of 2 tooth fairy dolls to sell at our booth for $5.

Micki showed favors for the EDAC (Enchanged Doll Artist Convention) for Albuquerque in July 2010. The mouse on a base with a cheese moon was chosen. There will possibly be a workshop at Maurine's in the future.

Membership was again stated to be $20 for the year. Biobbye will send out a current roster.

Liz took the doll mascot home as it will no longer be displayed in the Boulder City Library.

After lunch, all members worked on a moon pin designed and presented by Linda Dufrene.

Here's Teri and Mary with their doll pins. Not much progress there, Mary!

Louise and Lynn are proud of their pins.

Bobbye is happy, and Sandy is...??? tolerant of my picture taking?
