Thanks to everyone who was able to join the meeting on Zoom.
Dues for 2021: A motion was made and passed unanimously to reduce dues for 2021 only to $25 since the guild is not paying rent to the Garden Club. Dues can be paid on a sliding-scale, $25-$40, to cover the cost of EMQG's membership with MQG.
