At the January 2020 meeting, president Jacquie May recognized Susan Lombard as the ESQ Member of the Year for all her work and contributions to the guild.
As co-chair of the hospitality committee, Susan encourages members to sign up to provide snacks for our monthly meetings - and sends out reminders to them, arrives at every meeting early enough to make coffee, and has instituted a new program of reusable plates to cut down on our garbage "footprint." As co-chair of the outreach committee, Susan has spent many, many hours putting together kits of donated fabric (some from her own stash) and a suggested pattern for members to take home and piece, quilt, or bind. In addition, she organizes and attends Stay & Sew sessions after our meetings. Susan is always enthusiastic and willing to help. She is a great asset to the guild. |
