Grand Raffle Quilt
Every year one or more guild members make a quilt to be raffled off at the Holiday Party in November. The quilt is displayed during the year and tickets are sold at local quilt shops, quilt shows, and other venues. In addition, we encourage each of our members to pick up and either purchase or sell a packet of tickets, 24 tickets for $20, which are available at each monthly guild meeting. The proceeds from this raffle are used to fund our outstanding programs by bringing in nationally acclaimed speakers and teachers.
