Scholarships

Scholarships

Each year the funds earned from our scholarship fundraising quilts and other guild sales are used to help members attend seminar. In 2008 the membership voted to use 2/3 of the fundraising money available each year for scholarships, with any excess money carried over to future years for scholarships. Scholarships will be sufficient to cover the cost of 8 classes, but can be used for any seminar expenses.

Any guild member may apply for a scholarship, but may receive and use one only once. Names are drawn in mid December for the scholarships to be used for the following seminar. The Past President is the chairman of the Scholarship Committee. Contact her in the fall to be placed in the drawing, or to submit the name of a friend for a scholarship. Deadline for submission of names is December 1, 2009. 13 members have been notified that they have received a scholarship for Seminar 2010.

Fundraising Quilt

We have a stunning fundraising quilt completed. A winning ticket will be chosen in June at our annual Seminar. Following the seminar theme, By the Sea, By the Sea this quilt shows wonderful imagination as many members created their original blocks for the quilt.

If you would like tickets for this quilt, contact Fundraising Chairman, Jean Wirig.
