JUNE - TBA
AUGUST 4TH MEETING
Basket Raffle
Our Basket Raffle is coming up on August 4th. It's time to think about creating a basket to donate for the raffle. Baskets can be created by either individuals or small groups. The baskets may be, but do NOT have to be, quilting related! We have had baskets with themes including: spa day, game night, spaghetti night, book lovers, baby boy or girl, Gonzaga, lottery tickets, quilt kits, fabric baskets, wool, etc. Anything goes! This is one of our biggest fundraisers, so your basket donations are greatly appreciated! If you have items to donate for a basket, but not enough to fill a basket, feel free to bring those items to our June meeting and we'll put them in a basket.
If you are donating a basket, we ask you to create a list of the contents and put it with the basket. Then, cover the basket with a cellophane bag, keeping the list outside so people can see what's included. (Yes, you can get cellophane bags at the dollar store.) If at all possible, we would like to have all baskets at the meeting by 5:30 so people have time to peruse the offerings, get their tickets, and put them in the cups for their selected baskets.
So we have some idea of how many baskets to expect, we'll have a sign-up sheet at the June meeting. However, if you come up with a basket anytime before the August meeting, we would love to get it!
If you haven't attended a basket raffle, it is a very fun evening! Tickets for the raffle are $1 each and you get to choose which baskets you put your tickets in.
The money we get from the Basket Raffle helps us fund both our speakers and batting for our community service. Thank you in advance for your donations of baskets and purchasing tickets!!
