How to Attend the Monthly Meeting

OVQG members

  • Members automatically receive a meeting invitation for all meetings by email at 4 PM the day before the meeting. The email includes the Zoom link and passcode for the meeting.
  • New members must be confirmed 24 hours before the meeting to ensure they receive the invitation.
  • Members who are logged in can also obtain the Zoom link and passcode from the Zoom events calendar.

Non-members without a Guest Pass

  • If attending in person, simply arrive and pay at the door (cash only).
  • If attending using Zoom, you must register at least 24 hours in advance to ensure you receive the meeting invitation email. Select the desired meeting from the meeting calendar below, click on the blue "Register" button, and pay the fee (e-transfer only).

Non-members with a Guest Pass

  • Guild members are entitled to one free monthly meeting guest pass each year, which can be redeemed to allow a non-member to attend a monthly meeting at no charge.
  • To redeem their guest pass, the member should email membership@ottawavalleyquiltersguild.org at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting. Be sure to include: the member's name, the guest's name and email address, and the date of the desired meeting.
  • The Membership co-ordinator will add the guest's name to that meeting's guest list and email the meeting invitation to the guest. The guest can then attend the meeting in person or via Zoom, just like members do.
