New Members Program

Northwest Quilters is unique among local quilt guilds in offering a program designed specifically to meet the needs of new members. Members are considered “new” for the first 12 months of membership and are given special attention in the form of monthly small group meetings, designated seating at general meetings, and two dedicated liaisons for any and all questions related to NWQ. The goal is to welcome, orient, and integrate members and help everyone find activities of interest. It’s truly a win-win!

Meetings

In odd-numbered months (with a morning general meeting):
• In the church kitchen immediately following the general meeting
• Bring a sack lunch if desired

In even-numbered months (with an evening general meeting):
• Third Saturday of the month at midday
• Potluck luncheon at a liaison's home

Both venues often include an informational component by a committee chair or other NWQ leader, describing what is involved in their specific area and door prizes. It’s a good way to get to know others and make friends, to put a face with a name, and to learn about the smorgasbord of activities NWQ has to offer.

New members are encouraged to take part in this program as often as possible during the first year of your membership. For those of you who are no longer “new” but who wish to continue to participate in the new member activities… know that you are welcome, as well!

– Dedicated liaisons (Joyce Swift & Sandy Murphy) for any & all questions related to NW Quilters New Member Program.
