Meeting Minutes 9 April
2013
21 Present
Welcome and Announcements:
We
thought we might have to cancel our meeting due to the high wind/blizzard
warnings, but we had a great turnout in spite of the bad weather.
Cecelia
reminded us that next month’s meeting would be in Tammi Jo’s garage as we
assemble cupcake tiers for our conference socials. June will be back at Mesa Hills with Kim showing us
book/journal construction and July we’ll be stuffing goodie bags at Leslie’s
with a potluck.
Meiningers
is having a 20% off sale this Saturday on in-store items only.
A
community service project we can get involved with is writing letters to foster
kids at summer camp. More
information will be posted in a future e-Digest or call Leslie for more
information.
Show & Tell:
For
the sake of giving more time to Pat, we skipped show and tell tonight.
Presentation:
Pat
Musick graciously agreed to introduce some of us and reacquaint others of us to
the graceful, round Uncial hand of the 6th-9th British
centuries. She began taking
calligraphy classes at Reed College in Portland, OR and studied under Lloyd
Reynolds. She went on to master in
Uncial and Insular Majuscules in the UK and will be one of our half week faculty members at conference this year. She had a few handouts and several books
on hand. She demonstrated each
letter starting with the “round” family and went around the room encouraging
each of us individually. (The Book of Kells is available for on-line viewing.)
