Faye called the meeting to order with 11 members present . Business New Faye gave the treasurer’s report. Minutes appear on line at dfwscrollers.net. If any changes or corrections need to be made, please contact Jo Ann. joannw@windstream.net Announcements Faye turned in the plaques that were made of THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE to the Keller police department. Faye discussed with us about making more so that these can could be handed out to policeman that have done something beyond their regular duties. In fact, a man came up to Faye and said he had just received one and how excited and proud he was. Faye made a motion which passed to continue making more plaques to be used by the police department. A motion was made and passed to purchase a book that includes different patterns of military designs so that we might make a variety of plaques. Cynthia and Fay attended an event, PINNERS, at the Will Rogers auditorium with a large number of vendors and displays of many products as well as classes. They found several products such as Glue that includes several different sizes of tips. It works like a regular wood glue, but with the various tips, allowing you to place the glue in very small projects such as jewelry. (1) Bearly Art Precision craft glue www/bearlyart (2) Another product was colored glue for hot glue guns. Also Ryobi has a cordless ho glue gun which would be very helpful. (3) This convention is held once a year. Faye and Cynthia said it was fun to be around such creative people. Pinners includes classes. Let’s look for the show next year.
