How to make friends

CTQG would love to be a small, cozy organization where everyone knows each other,  but unfortunately we are just to big an organization  for this to happen. We’re relying on you to make the social connections that meet your needs.

Our guild meetings exist primarily to report to our members what’s going on in our guild and present programs. Socializing, as you know, is best done in small groups. With 200 members, meeting people with your same interests is difficult.  Here’s four suggestions:

Join a bee. That’s where the social sewing goes on, where friends help with your quilt making, give and receive advice, and so on. Contact our bee coordinator, NoelAnn Brown for more information.

Take a workshop. It’s the same kind of social sewing as a bee, but you have a shared background, the workshop project.  Check out the Workshop tab to see the schedule or contact Victoria West our workshop coordinator for more information.

Serve on our board or help a coordinator. You can contact anyone on our board and say, “I’m interested in this position, can I assist you and learn the ropes” or contact our president Sue Malicoat.

Greet people at meetings. We usually don’t have enough people and time to greet and get to know guests and new members. Ask our membership chair, Maureen Scheevel to direct any new members or guests your way. Here’s your chance to introduce yourself to someone who is in the same boat.
