Give your money and reservation to Marilyn Vigil, Patsy Morris or Charlotte Hillson as soon as possible. Plan on coming and having a very festive night - this committee has worked very hard to make this a great party!

HOLIDAY FAIR
There is alot of excitement for this fund-raiser! Your silent auction items can be brought in anytime - let us know what the value of the item is so the committee can figure the starting bids.
Remember - you need to be a member to put things in the quilt sale, show or the boutique.

I would like to display some of your wonderful quilts so please let me know if you want your quilts hung and fill out the form at the bottom of the newsletter and submit to me as soon as possible. Pin the quilt ID tag part on your quilt when you bring it in.
