The
largest fund raising activity of the Finger Lakes Finns is the annual
quilt project. Each year several members decide upon a theme for the
annual quilt project and hold several work sessions to produce the
quilt. The quilter's handiwork always seems to exceed the design and
beauty of the previous year.
Quilt
raffle tickets are sold throughout the year and the quilt work --sometimes
more than one piece-- is awarded to the fortunate winners at the
annual Fall Festival, in September.
As mentioned in the President’s message, quilt
raffle
tickets will be available for distribution and sale at
our meetings and several area venues. However, if
you live outside of the area, and wish to purchase
tickets, you may order them from Shirley Barton. If
you want to purchase tickets, the price is $1 each, 6
for $5, and 15 for $10. If you would like tickets to
sell, Shirley will send you some, and you can send
her the money when you sell them. You can contact
Shirley by phone at (607) 387 9224, e-mail: sebarton@cpinternet.com,
or postal mail: Shirley Barton,
