Patriotic Bee Meeting March 3rd, 2026

I hope this finds everyone well. Hard to believe we are already 2 mo. into this year already, hence why this is late. Time and projects or other things are not cooperating with me. We will have are meeting at Englewood Presbyterian church 100 S Englewood drive on March 3rd starting at 10:00 am.

I have gotten in most of the fabric that we ordered so we will go over that as well as what is yet to come in. Also, I have with the help of Michele and AI created an inventory system to track what we have as well as what’s left after someone comes and gets some fabric. So, I will go over how that works, and all that goes with that.

We will also talk about the QOV presentation that we have discussed about presenting QOV to members of the church in thankful gratitude for the use of the church.

Please feel free to bring up any issues or concerns, thoughts, and hopes during the meeting. Thank you as always, Duane
