• Tea and Quilt Auction

    Saturday, April 23, 2022

    We Need You!

    The Tea and Quilt Auction is the guild's largest fundraising activity and it is integral to our continued ability to fulfill the mission of the guild: to further the education and skills of the members of the guild, to promote cooperation and exchange ideas about quilting, to preserve the heritage of quilt-making, and to educate the public about the importance of quilting as an art form and ongoing craft.

     

    All of that costs money and the Tea and Quilt Auction financially supports everything we do ... plus, it's a wonderfully enjoyable and fun event!

     

    But it can't happen without your support.

     

    The Tea and Quilt Auction Co-Chairs, Barbra Riley and Marianne Mahoney, request your support with creating this marvelous event. It may seem like the Tea is months away, but it will be here before we know it. Having your commitment NOW will make the work of the Tea and Quilt Committee Co-Chairs much easier.

    1. Read the list of roles and tasks that are necessary for the Tea and Quilt Auction to come to fruition and be successful.
