President’s Message

In the middle of March I was sitting at my desk trying to play catch-up on

emails, news and any ASG Chapter business. Due to the Covid-19 virus all my meetings for the month were cancelled, so I had lots of free time to sew – that’s if I was into UFO’s (unfinished objects). Because we’re all confined to our homes for an unknown length of time, I asked my sewing sisters: “What are you doing to fill your days.” The answers included: counting all my buttons/sorting them by size and color, cleaning sewing machines, trying to finish UFO’s, finish that baby quit now that the kid is 47 years old and the list goes on. As for me: I made two Jean Purses by Maude Medlin-Brown (without Maude to guide me), took my vacuum apart and tried to clean the house, but gave up.

Now its the first of April and hopefully we are all in the safe zone of our sewing rooms. Since everything is closed down (I have received many emails that most quilt shops have closed) and I am hoping that I don’t run out of thread and needles! I use these items the most and if I buy on-line, it’s sometimes a gamble. Missing out on not jumping into my car to go hunt in the local shops where I always run into someone I know. But if I need anything, I know where there are two closets full of fabric!

Many of our ASG Chapter members have been making face masks. Thank you all for supporting our community in this time of need!

On a happier note, March 7th we had our Demo Day at Quail Creek Country Club. After reading the reviews, it was outstanding 10’s in all areas. Hooray to

our Event Chairman Donna Woodford, who worked very hard to make this event so successful. There were five fantastic demonstrations, plus a great fashion show and a long line of tables filled with Neighborhood Group projects. A big, special thank you to presenters Ann Dyer, Gail Schmieder, Doreen Friedman-Paret, Sue Hausmann and Kathy Douglass, plus Dianne Huston (Fashion Show Emcee), our “project runway” models, Maude Medlin-Brown (Demo Day Book), Kathy King (tech support), Grace Arino, Neighborhood Group Leaders/Co-Leaders and to all who stepped forward to lend a hand. Please note it takes many hours, travel to venues, emails and phone calls over almost a year to plan this event.

On a sad note, the Annual Sewing Retreat in June has been cancelled! Hopefully we will be able to reschedule it for later in the year.

Also many Neighborhood Group (NG)meetings have been cancelled or may yet be cancelled. So be sure to contact your NG Leaders to verify there will be one before driving to the meeting place. When the stay-at-home order is over, the NG website will be updated to reflect any changes made by the NG Leaders.

Hopefully all of our members are thinking of each other and are reaching out via phone calls, emails or social media to check on their sewing sisters! Sharing what they are working on and saying hello are ways to fill the day with a “ray of sunshine!”

Stay safe, healthy and keep on sewing,

Annual Sewng Retreat 2020 Update

Interesting times we are going through right now. I hope you are all doing well and are enjoying good health. As

self proclaimed UFO (unfinished object) Queen I have not had any shortage of projects to do. Surprisingly, I seem to have all the notions I need as well.

I am so thankful this pandemic didn’t shut down our Chapter until after Demo Day. We had a good turnout and I have to say, getting the Neighborhood Groups involved in the program is the way to go. We had fresh ideas and new faces doing the Demo’s. Quail Creek did an excellent job and for the first time ever, I did not receive one complaint about the food! It was delicious.

Unfortunately, as you all know by now, our Annual Sewing Retreat had to be postponed. Make sure your hotel reservations have been cancelled, it is your responsibility to do that. The Hilton Hotel East has agreed to honor our contract at a future date. At this time, we are considering scheduling it for September or October contingent on our

membership response. We also have the option of cancelling it until June 2021. So I am asking you, what do you want? Give me a call, text, or email your thoughts (contact info at end of article).

We have our Holiday Luncheon scheduled at the Westward Look Resort on Saturday, December 5. So SAVE THE DATE! I will look forward to seeing you there.

We still have not received any nominations to replace members on our Chapter Advisory Board (CAB). Please consider sharing your ASG experience and talents (see article on pages 6 & 7). Your leadership is what will keep us going in 2021.

Sew on,

Neighborhood Group Calendar

We have many members who are sensitive to smells such as perfume, cologne or even scented lotion. Please be considerate and refrain from wearing perfume, cologne or scented lotion during meetings. They do smell wonderful to many of us, but to those members who are sensitive, they are quite debilitating and often mean days or weeks of recovery. Thank you

Remember: ALL members are welcome to attend ANY Neighborhood Group meeting or UFO Day. This is a great way to meet other ASG members!

Due to many facility shut-downs, always check w/NG Leaders on meeting status.

Tucson Chapter Advisory Board Duties

In preparation for the Chapter Advisory Board (CAB) 2021 Election the following information is being provided for

our Chapter members. On this page and continued on page 11 is an explanation of the CAB and it’s duties.

I know it is early to start talking about the 2021 Election, but most of the CAB positions will need to be filled. The 2020 elected CAB wants to have any interested members attend CAB meetings to experience what happens monthly at these meetings. This will help a member decide if they wish to run for a position. Also it gives them a chance to get some experience of how each CAB position functions.

Serving on the CAB is FUN! Please consider volunteering for a position to help to keep our Chapter active with lots of interesting programs and educational opportunities.

What is the CAB? The CAB manages the affairs and business of the Chapter. Reviews/approves projected annual budget submitted by the President and Treasurer. Appoints a Contact Person for each Chapter sponsored program/event. Holds meetings at times and places agreed by the CAB and publicizes the meetings to the Chapter membership.

Our CAB meetings are presently held the third Thursday of most months at the Ward 2 Offices, 7575 East Speedway, Tucson, AZ.

Why is it important to have a CAB?The American Sewing Guild (ASG) Standing Rules requires the Tucson Chapter to have an elected CAB and to hold CAB meetings to retain our Chapter Charter.

Where does the Chapter get CAB members? The CAB members are active Tucson ASG Guild members who volunteer their time to serve in either an elected position or an appointed position.

Every year an election is held for the CAB members at the Annual Meeting. Each officer is elected for a one year term beginning January 1st and ending December 31st. A valid election requires that at least 15% of the total Chapter Membership must vote. After the elected CAB meets in January, the appointed positions are approved.

What are the positions/responsibilities?The elected positions are summarized below:

President – official representative of the Chapter. The • President signs all contracts on behalf of the Chapter, conducts all CAB meetings and the Annual Meeting, keeps membership informed of all Chapter events, sends to ASG headquarters all required reports, works

events, ensures required supplies are available for use (easels, signs, chalkboards, markers, banners, extension cords, tape, microphone, etc.); stores/maintains Chapter assets and equipment; if unable to store all assets, documents storage location done by others who volunteer to do this.
