Welcome from Renton, Washington. My cousins wife is from Selma. Her maiden name was Caroline (better make sure you say ir right! Care-oh-line!) Hedgepeth. My sister dated a real hunk named Pepe Rohdes (think I spelled it right) who was also from Selma. His father was from Spain and he had the most georgeous green eyes! He played the saxaphone for Auburn University's marching band. Can you tell he made an impression on my young little heart? LOL!

I am on the committee of the Waikato Patchworkers and Quilters Guild. It has always had a reputation of running their meetings to a high standard. When I first joined the guild I loved the way they ran their meetings. Always had interesting speakers, a merchant table, block of the month, ran classes, met like minded people who had the same passion as me. Being on the committee has given me a greater insite and more opporatunity to learn more and met many interesting people. We allow prospective members to have two free visits and then decide on membership. We also try very hard to have a committee member available to these people to explain what we do. I hope this helps
