Cape Fear Modern Guild meeting notes for Sept. 21, 2015

Collection of yearly dues for the guild: $5 per person.

Discussion about a magazine subscription for our group:
Lois researched information about magazines that we might one to subscribe to.  She brought several magazines to show the group so we could make a decision.
Modern Patchwork does not have a yearly subscription rate - can only order one at a time.
Modern Quilts Unlimited had a yearly subscription rate of $24.95 per year.
The group decided to get a subscription to  Modern Quilts Unlimited.  Lois will get the subscription to this magazine - Karen gave her money to get the magazine using our dues money.
