Policies

Advertising Policies

  1. There is no advertising in the newsletter. Quilt related activities of other guilds and/or related organizations will be listed as space permits.
  2. Members who wish to bring fliers advertising quilting or other events to meetings may place their fliers at the membership table (as space permits). These may not be distributed in the meeting room, or on the chairs, and must be removed from the membership table at the end of the evening.
  3. No advertising or announcements of upcoming workshops, events, sales, etc. may be made from the podium during the meeting, including during show and tell. The only exception to this policy is if another guild or nonprofit group is selling raffle tickets on a quilt, in which case the quilt may be shown during show and tell, with an announcement that raffle tickets are available.
  4. No individual or group shall be allowed to sell any merchandise or services in the confines of the space leased for meetings/shows/workshops by the OQG during such events. The only exception to this policy is speakers/teachers who have made arrangements to have their merchandise available for sale to OQG members and guests, with the stipulation that they will donate 10% of their proceeds to the OQG.

Quilt Show Policies

  1. To enter an item in the annual OQG quilt show, you must be a member of the Omaha Quilter's Guild by the date quilt entry forms are due. Full fee membership ($35.00) will be required if you wish to have your quilt judged.
  2. Rules governing judging, country store, and other quilt show policies shall be at the discretion of the show chairman and her committee.
  3. The OQG Raffle Quilt and the Nebraska State Guild Raffle Quilt are the only raffle quilts for which rickets may be sold at the show.
  4. Only vendors who have been selected by the Vendor Chair and Quilt Show chair and have agreed to have a booth at the show will be allowed to distribute materials at the show.
  5. The Information Table is for other not for profit groups to display materials about their group and their events.
  6. Members of the executive board of OQG are the only ones who may sign contracts for the show.

Web Page Policy

At the current time, there is no advertising on the guild website. Links and Events must be submitted to the webmaster by an Omaha Quilt Guild member in good standing to be considered for placement.
