Quilt Show Committee Members, Please Note!

It was a great show but it’s not over yet: committee members, please update and return your instructions packets at the show wrap-up meeting on Thursday, August 8, 1:15, at the History Center Carriage House. If you have items you’d like to discuss or to stress for next year, please email them to Jackie Stankey (jstankey@peak.org) for the agenda or bring them to the meeting. Try to keep your comments, both positive and those for improvements, as brief as possible. But please be there and be ready to turn in your packets. Many thanks, Darcy, Jackie, and Jean

Viewer’s Choice Winner at the Library

The Viewer’s choice quilt which which was displayed at the library was won by the Splinters (the turtle quilt).  We decided on the Children’s Advocacy Center for our $50 donation.
Thanks,
