Incentive Program: This year the Guild officers are offering a "Incentive Program". In December 2012 at the Christmas party, we will give away to one lucky member a very nice large Christmas Basket filled with sewing items. Each month we will purchase a item to fill the basket, we are also asking members to bring 1 sewing or quilting item each month to also be included. Now for the fun part. Each time you participate in something, your name will go into the drawing.....example: attend the meeting, bring a guest, show & tell something, do a community service item and in one night you could have already received 4 chances, over a 12 month period your name could be entered no telling how many times. Anything you do to participate in the Guild will earn extra entries into the drawing. Remember when purchasing items for the basket, always use your Hobby Lobby and Joann's coupons. Also, all items must be new and un-opened.
