Old Business
Christine Shively Workshop will take place on April 9-10, 2022. Cost and workshop description will be discussed at the January meeting.
Katie shared that the Facebook page gets quite a bit of activity and requested that members send photos of their work to her to be posted on the page.
The final Show and Sale figures were not available because our treasurer was quarantined and unable to attend the meeting. Those figures will be shared at the January meeting. It was pointed out that we packed up a little before the show's end, and several people came in as we were packing up. In the future, we will not start packing up until the publicized end time of the show.
The slate of officers was presented for 2022. A motion was made by Barbara Shoenoff to accept the slate of officers and seconded by Mary McNeely. All were in favor. The officers for 2022 are:
President - Andrea Baughman
Vice Presidents - Julie Gausvik, Sue Odell, and Virginia Odell
Publicity - Ann Chulk
Secretary - Joan Webb
Treasurer - Jude Hernly
Show and Sale - Maggie Carr
New Business
Katie Jones presented the idea of the doll club collaborating with the members of InFiber to create a Spirit Doll-themed exhibit. The members present were interested in pursuing this idea. Katie will discuss this further with the InFiber members at their January 9 meeting and will report back to us at our January meeting.

Fiber Show
The 20 N Gallery in Greenfield will have a fiber show in the gallery in May. The doll group is invited to participate. Tables will be provided, the group will provide the boxes and drapes to exhibit our dolls. The dolls can be the challenge dolls from 2021 and any other dolls we would like to exhibit. Set up and take down dates will be determined later. Usually, the dates can be flexible but need to be set up by the first Saturday in May.
2022 Programs
Meeting topics were discussed and programs for January - June were mapped out. See Upcoming Meetings at the top of the newsletter. July -November still needs to be decided. Two suggestions included a hat-making class and fairy houses.
2022 Challenges
Fairy Dolls, Paint Chip Challenge, Seasons, Game of Thrones, Dessert Inspired, Playing Card, Alice in Wonderland, Bird Doll, Come as You Aren't, and Constellations were the ten topics suggested by the members present. After several vote eliminations, the July Challenge will be Bird Inspired and the November Challenge will be Alice in Wonderland.
After the business meeting, members enjoyed the delicious pitch-in foods and some participated in the Black and White gift exchange.
