Tickets for this turkey dinner will be $12 and will be on sale

Quilters are asked to clean out their “studios” and donate any unused
quilting items to this charity raffle. Once items are received these
items will be assembled in baskets and at the December meeting you
will be able to purchase tickets on these baskets. Proceeds will go to
charity. A collection basket will be available all year at the raffle
table.
Also, we are thrilled to have Karen Jurek, from Cochrane Ab, treating
us to a trunk show. Karen was featured in the Summer 2007 Canadian
