To all my Friends in the Manteca Quilt Group,
As you are aware I am sure, The President of the United States and the Governor of California have issued stronger recommendations for public meetings in the face of the growing Coronavirus spread.
The Manteca Quilters' Board has had a "Text" Board meeting, and agreed that the Guild should suspend our meetings and classes through April. We will talk again in May to asses the situation. I will miss visiting with you, but we want you to be safe and healthy.
