The Fraser Valley Quilters' Guild
 
is a non-profit Society.
The purpose of the Guild is to bring
 the joy of quilting to the public
by way of shows, displays, and demonstrations.
To bring ideas and
learning experiences
 to the members by way of workshops, guest speakers, and demonstrations.

 

Effective September, 2008
The Guild meetings are moving to:
Kennedy Seniors Recreation Centre

Our meetings will be held the same day,

Our Executive Meetings will also be held at the Centre but on the first Thursday of the month.
The new venue is just a few blocks from the Firehall and will have closer access to public transport and other amenities.
The Guild would like to thank the Venue Committee for their hard work in finding us
a new place to meet.

2008 - 09 Membership Renewal starts at the May Meetings

Change in Membership Requirements
In September, we will be meeting at the Kennedy Seniors Recreation Centre. Part of our agreement in securing this venue is that all Guild members must also become members of the Centre. This is included in your Guild membership fee so there is no additional cost to you. When you renew your membership for the 2008-2009 year, you will be required to fill out 2 applications – one for the Guild and one for Kennedy. Please review Kennedy’s application form on this web page and be prepared to provide all the information required on their form if you plan on filling out the forms at a meeting. Since membership with Kennedy is required in order to use their facility, their completed application must be received with ours before the Guild will issue your new membership. The Guild will not be keeping copies of Kennedy’s application forms. All originals will be forwarded to them. All information will be considered confidential and will not be disclosed to anyone by Guild members handling the applications. If you have any questions please feel free to contact the Membership Chairperson. Copies of Kennedy’s newsletter will be available at the meetings for you to pick up so you can become familiar with all the other programs offered by them, which will be available to any Guild member that holds a full membership (45 years of age and over).
