| Past Presidents' Forum The Past Presidents' Forum will meet twice a year to help direct the community service projects of the guild. This committee will work independently of the board and report annually to the guild. All guild members that have served a term as president are welcome. Next meeting: 7pm on the first Monday of June at the Millennium Diner in Smithtown At the "freebie" section of the stage at guild meetings, an optional donation jar has been added. The money collected in this jar will go to KIVA, an organizaiton that makes micro-loans around the world. The forum will direct the donated funds toward projects that help women or further texile/sewing business. Small loans (starting as little as $25) when repaid will go into the guild's KIVA account and can then be reloaned to another woman sewer! 2019 Annual Report of Community Service Projects: Kiva: The woman who received the loan in 2018 has repaid that loan in full. Two loans of $100 each were made in 2019 Comfort Quilts: Members made a total of 255 quilts and an unknown number of quilts donated to camp for children suffering from cancer Post Cards: Members sold postcards and received donations for Visiting Nurses Service and Hospice of Suffolk Inc totalling $2320 Quilt of Valor: One quilt presented to a Veteran who is a former Stitcher |
