·         December 12, 2015 will be the Meals on Wheels fundraiser at the Abbeville Livery Stable. Guild members decided to change our give away of the guild quilt to this date instead of the spring festival date. This will allow more time for ticket sales. Guild members should think of craft and food items to sell for fundraising for Meals on Wheels at this function.

·         QOV Magnets – This is a fundraiser. Our guild has paid $4.00 for the magnets and will sell them for $8.00. This money will go to the guild for QOV.

·         Envelopes with a picture of the Raffle quilt were given out along with tickets to sell.

Tickets are $1.00 each of 6 for $5.00. Be sure that persons purchasing tickets give their full name and telephone.  Number for each ticket they purchase.
