FROM
PRESIDENT
BARBARA
MEYER
Here we are in April already!
How time flies. The old saying is that “April
showers bring May flowers”, but looks like
the flowers are already here. Everything is
blooming and beautiful.
We have had a busy first few months of the
year, with the Children’s Art Show, Festival
of Arts, and just this past weekend, the
Southern District Convention. For those that
were there, I’m sure you agree that it was
informative and fun. Our club won several
awards based on the reports that were
submitted in January. (see pages 11-12)
We have a lot to be proud of! Our own
Chris Herzog, who is also our past state
president, orchestrated the convention with
the help of Maryann Alianelli and Martha
Pritchard and they did a wonderful job.
April 2019
We always want to remember to support our
sister clubs in their fundraising endeavors as
well as the other Lakeside organizations.
(See page 10)
As mentioned before, I’m very proud to be
the president of this club with all our
amazing members!

Barbara Whitlock recalls the first quilt show
was held at the VFW with
a committee of four
Yrene Woods, Dottie House, Dolores
Meyers, and Rose Collins. I helped at quilt
shows after I joined the club and became
chairman in 1996.
First woman's club quilt show was
1986 celebrating Lakeside Centennial and
held at the VFW. When I first helped it was
at the church. Two chairs were stacked on a
table, covered by a trash bag. A quilt was
draped over it.
A couple years’ later poles, with fabric loops
at the top, were made. . The poles were
stored up high in the B room! The quilts
were taken in Thursday and hung then. The
show was Fri and Sat 10-4. When doors
closed, quilts were taken down and returned
to quilters at 5. Carpet was vacuumed; pews
put back in place and quilt poles stored.
In 2011 the show moved to the VFW. We
had outgrown the space at the
church. Besides quilts, we now have
secondhand rose, sewing closet, sewing
circle sales, vendors and lunch. With 118
quilts entered in 2019 we are filling this
space too.
We have a fabulous quilt show crew. And
this year’s quilt show was the best ever.
Barbara is retiring after 24 years and Tina
Anderson has agreed to fill her shoes.
Barbara was chairperson 1996 thru 2019.
She said, “The first 5 years were the hardest,
and then I got smarter and asked more
members to get involved!”

President, Barbara Meyer, called the meeting to order at 12:00 p.m. and asked for
everyone to please silence their cell phones and then led the Pledge of Allegiance. Sandie Campbell gave
today’s Inspiration, “Why We Should Compliment Often”. Barbara introduced today’s guest, Mikki Balicki,
and went on to thank today’s hostesses Barbara Whitlock, Nancy DeGreif, Barbara Channell and Debbie Miller.
Barbara Whitlock said that March is our birthday month and told us a bit about the club’s history and said she

Lunch today was provided by Boll Weevil.
Birthday recognitions for the month of March went to Karen Sanford, Sharon Smith, Barbara Meyer, Patsy
Ford, and Kimberely Marchand. Three new members were installed by Cheryl Fuller; they are Diana
Kulhanek, Teddy Pina, and Nancy Smith.
Barbara Whitlock was able to finish her presentation of the history of Lakeside and of the Woman’s Club of
Lakeside. Barbara pointed out that there were many articles on display for us to look through and items that
were used years ago when the club held a tea. Just reading a few of the minutes from years past gave us a bit of
history of what the club was doing in 1910 when it was established.
Secretary’s Report: There was one correction that needed to be made to the spelling of a name followed by
sharing the letters and thank you notes that were received with members.
Treasurer’s Report: Martha Kraling reported that we have $7,774.31 on hand as of March 27, 2019.
President’s Message: Barbara said the District Convention will be on April 13; State Convention is May 16
thru 18. Barbara said the State Convention will pay for her and Lisa’s transportation and expenses and that the
money raised ($960) during the year from our raffle basket money will be divided between Carolyn Fulford and
Cheryl Fuller to attend the convention. Barbara said that April 27 is the Lakeside Western Days Parade and
several members will be riding in an antique firetruck in the parade. Prior to the parade the Lakeside Historical
Society will be holding a pancake breakfast at the old church for $5 per person.
Unfinished Business: Barbara asked the members to be sure to turn in their medical information that was
handed out at our last meeting. Barbara said that the information form was to be filled out and put in the
envelope that was provided and to seal it then staple or clip the card with your name on it and emergency
names/phone numbers to the envelope. These will travel with the club when we have an away event to attend
and will be kept here when we are home.
New Business: Barbara explained that even though we don’t have any Board positions to fill right now, we still
need to have a Nominating Committee just in case a Board member isn’t able to complete their term. Doreen
Baker, Cheryl Fuller, and Dennise Kane agreed to serve as the Nominating Committee.
Barbara said the new Red Book is now available and to be sure to pick up one before leaving today. Barbara
went on to say that she has created a new Report Form which will be used to keep track of the hours spent on a
project. Having the new form will also make it easier to include that information in the annual reports.
Chair Reports:
Gloria Rinehart reported that the Children’s Art Show had some winnings pieces, but the students with the
winning pieces of art chose not to send them on to be further judged and she hoped to have that resolved for
next year’s show.
