RAFFLE BASKETS. Please help create more raffle baskets. This year all proceeds from the raffle baskets will go to Hessed House, a facility in Aurora which helps the homeless, and families in need through a food pantry, meals, and lodging. The raffle baskets can be won after buying one or more raffle tickets at the show in September. Each basket will consist of many items from fabric, notions, ceramics, a hand made item and anything else pertaining to the theme of that basket. Thanks to members who brought baskets, fabric, notions, and patterns at the January meeting.

We have only a few bees committed to making baskets for our show.  If you or your group would like to contribute to a basket, please include a list of the contents outside the basket wrapping when turning it in. If you need help, contact Georgia Rodney.
