FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Have you seen the landscape quilts at the library? Visit the Cody library sometime in Aug and be amazed.
ABC quilt is still not hung at the Park County Cody Library. Waiting on quilt holder to be made and hung. I’ll let you know the details as they are relayed to me. I have the quilt carefully kept at my home until that time.
Round robin continues the month of August. Who has Ann Trosper’s original start? I’d like to connect with you and do my row ---- please let me know asap for August yet. Who wants Laura Lee Mangun’s round robin? I have it and it is ready for someone to add yet this month of August. Who didn't get one? Contact me to make arrangements to get it. Thanks. Evelyn 587-5930 or 272-5148
Challenge 2011 starts on Monday the 23rd. Each of you will receive a bag of quilt squares and have a chance to create something for the surprise. In August we will deduct your points only one time during the entire challenge --- 15 points.

BINGO for our fun night needs some fun prizes. Have you wrapped a quilt related item to bring as the game progresses? You may "purchase" as many bingo cards as you like at a cost of 15 points per play. We are hoping everyone will participate a couple of times ---- great way to use your points and join in the fun. If you want to bring your "gift" unwrapped that will add more interest to the game. No taking of gifts once they are chosen by the winner ---- yours to keep. We will continue to play each game until we have a minimum of three winners.

Are you doing the fat square drawing this month? Hope so --- more fat squares you bring the more coupons for the drawing you will receive. We are doing small flower print material for Aug.

Jeannette Brewester is still recovering from back surgery --- I heard she has had a set back when spinal fluid was leaking. Please continue to pray for her and send our sunshine girl a card ---- 52 Moore Rd. Clark WY 82435 .
Therapy is off to a good start and I’ll be going 3 times and week and doing exercises on my own 3 times a day when not with the professional. Thanks again for your many prayers and cards. We are looking at a year’s time before full recovery can be expected but the shoulder that was crushed and broken in 4 places will see the day when I can raise my arm once again. No surgery was necessary, miracle of miracles.  Evelyn Browning, president in training.
