CMMAG Vice President, Alicia, welcomed members and introduced Terry Greenberg, our newest member to the guild. 

We were at our new location at the Cary Quilting Company. The facility was nice and roomy with everything that we need. The tables were easy for us to rearrange, and the owner was very accommodating. Looks to be a wonderful fit for our guild.
