All volunteers for the Quilt Show will have their name on a list given to people at FT. Mitchell entrance and you will not have to pay entrance fee. Volunteers are asked to wear pink shirts. There will be two groups of volunteers. One group will work in the quilt room and one group will work at sales table.
Our treasurer , Audrey Bergeron, is collecting yearly dues of $25. If you have not paid please contact
