Great news! We have, once again, outdone ourselves.

See page 2 for details… Thanks to Ilona, Susan and

Deborah for multiple donation trips this month. You are

awesome!

Are you enjoying Fall? I am since the weather is

cooler the last couple of days which allows me to work

longer without heat exhaustion. Enjoy the season and if you haven’t heard, my

husband, Harold and I are continuing our annual Halloween party

after a 2 year hiatus. If you haven’t received a “Save the Date”

note and would like the details, let me know at

Info@NeGaQuiltsforKids.org.

It’s a Haunted Open House and the ghouls are already sprucing

up the joint.

One last thing, please return all kits that you have signed out by the end of

the year. There seems to be quite a few out and I’d like them back, no ques-

tions asked, finished or unfinished. See page 2 for drop off site addresses.

Thanks for all the good work you do,

Betty Wright, chapter leader

This is 12-year old Roselyn who Carol J. and I saw on September 2nd. Isn’t her quilt pretty?

This is 17 year old Lilly who I met on September 1th. She loves the scrappy quilt I had for her. It is a treasure.
