All Quiet in the Hall

Independence Hall Quilters

With a bunch of the guild at Quilt Camp and not at Monday’s meeting, the Hall was so quiet. Without many conversations going on at once, it was a peaceful feeling. One meeting per year is like that.

We are looking forward to the following Monday and hearing from all the campers relating their stories and exhibiting their accomplishments. I had hoped for communications from Lake Tahoe this past week, but nothing came.

Yesterday I was emailed one photo, which gave me a clue why the camp was incommunicado.

Every woman in this photo is not only smiling but has a huge smile on their face. Every single one of them.

Now I’ve taken a ton of group photos for the projects I worked with in National Security over the years. A few smiled big, but most were not even paying attention. This photo would have gotten all of us called into HR for drug testing.

Congratulations, Dana & Linda, for another successful camping trip!

Change

Independence Hall Quilters

Hey, it had to happen at some point.

There have been things moving around on our website. New pages, images, and content too. Have you noticed?

Pages are being updated and created. Select a page from the menu, but it isn’t there anymore. “It was just there yesterday,” you whine. The blogs were on the front page for years. It’s OK. You can read them anytime from the list on the sidebar on the right. If there is no sidebar on the right side of the page, scroll all the way down the page, and the sidebar items are stacked up on the bottom of the page. OR you can click on our main menu.

Apologies to our readers for this, well, mess. We are working as fast as we can, and the results will please you.

ZOOM On In!

Independence Hall Quilters

Due to being bombarded by a repeating cycle of snowstorms, the quilters in Arnold, CA, cannot hold their Monday meetings at the “Hall.”

We have a brief break in the weather today and tomorrow, then another storm rolls in for the weekend and most of the next week. This means our Monday meeting will be held on ZOOM. Again. Don’t get me wrong, we have a lot of laughs, get some business done, and are able to visit with and see each other.

Alas, not all members are able to ZOOM. Only 25% of members come to a ZOOM meeting. This makes me sad. I would love to see at least half of our members zooming into a meeting.

That being said…
All that you need is a computer that is connected to the internet (if you use email, you are connected) and to contact Jodi, who will walk you through the easy steps to connect to our ZOOM meeting.

I double-dog dare you!
