Quilts of Valour
An up-to-date financial statement for the Quilt Show is located in the Library -- it details revenue and expenses. For
revenue, here is a breakdown: vendors tables brought in $500; Friday admissions were at 212 @ $5.00 for a total of $1,060
and Saturday admissions were 221 @ $5.00 for a total of $1,105. Our three beautiful raffle baskets brought in a total of
$1,216. Our expenses totalled $2,686.95, leaving us a profit of $1,194.05.
In 2017, we are anticipating higher costs for room rentals at the Prestige so we may have to consider corporate
sponsorship, something new for our guild but something that is done in other guilds. If you have any ideas for raising
money to cover our increased rental costs, please let someone on the committee hear from you!
Once again our raffle quilt was well received -special thanks to the Raffle Quilt Committee, to all those
who worked on the raffle quilt, and especially to Sheila
Hart for organizing ticket sales. We made our donation
of $5,000 to the Hospital Foundation - an impressive
amount from our Day Guild. Miyo and Diane made the
presentation to the Hospital Foundation in early
December and the funds were directed to their Light Up
the Hospital campaign for priority medical equipment in the Operating Room.
Your hard-working Quilt Show Committee met after the show to debrief and to
make recommendations for the next show - most of our recommendations can
wait to be reviewed and implemented just prior to our next show but we want you
to start thinking about ideas for Challenge NOW. Tentative dates have been set
for September 22 and 23 for our 2017 show - and we may 'book' and pay for the
Thursday evening to ensure that we can start setting up early!
A very special THANKS to everyone for contributing to our show - for all of your
beautiful quilts which were displayed and for all of the help in set-up and takedown - it was a fabulous GROUP effort!!!
Fond Memories
Another successful show is behind us - time to get back to quilting and to start planning for our show in 2017....no
excuses; you have lots of warning!
