IWOCP STATE BOARD MEETING, New fiscal year, April 18, 2023, 8:40 am

Janice Holtke opened with new business: Next years (2024) state convention. Board voted to have the dates of April 17, 18 & 19th. Theme, Spring Garden Party!

It was suggested that we have Nancy Bergman & Chee Chee Moore do 3 hour seminars. Everyone agreed.

Janice Hoeltke suggested we do a 5 hour class with one or two of the teachers instead of 3 hours so the piece can be completed. Sherry Hoefling recommended we do it on the day the vendors set up so we not to take away their customers. All agreed.

Janice Hoeltke said that $15.00 from the $40.00 fee for the 3 hour classes, went to the teachers.

Sherry Hoefling suggested we use a storage facility for left over china/supplies from the convention so no one has to store them at their house. Regina Vandivier suggested that if anyone already has a storage unit with extra room, it wouldn’t cost the IWOCP any extra money/expense.

Martha Bectel suggested we do a project for charity again like The Blooms of Bloomington did for the 2010 convention. (They painted 500 Breast Cancer Ribbons for that charity). Martha suggested we make a list of charities regarding women or children and have guilds decide on which charity/organization we would like to do for this project. Joyce Dwulet said we need to choose a charity to which we all agree.

Carol Moore inducted Martha Bectel as the new IWOCP Treasurer. Martha accepted.

Joyce Dwulet moved we adjourn the meeting and Janeen Bloomenberg seconded.

Respectfully Submitted,

Regina Vandivier, IWOCP Secretary
