The President's report stated: The Archival workshop was held July 1 & 2.  Eight people attended and helped inventory the papers in the collection.  Additional funds from the grant for Archival materials have just been received.  The Quilt show and lecture was well attended.  There is a need to consider a building fund for the future as the school can take the rooms back in the future, with two months' notice.
