Service/Charity

Greetings Empire Quilters!

 

Upcoming Charity Night - TBD

If you are interested in adding a charity to our list we need some information. Firstly, we need either a letter or an email that has the 501 (c)(3) number as proof of the charity's non profit status. The second piece of information that we need is a statement with a description of what the population is served and their ages. Also what size quilts are required. All of this information can be included in the one letter or email.

We are working on a schedule for next year's charity nights now. We should be getting the information next

about the dates. Also watch for the information on our web page and Facebook page. If you happen to know
anyone who does not have access to the Internet please let them know the information if you think they may 
be interested.

Thank you to all of you who came up and said they would like to help me out on meeting days. I will be needing 

help throughout the day so I will have a paper at the charity table where you can put your name and the time that
you would like to help out. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. As we try to make the work our charity 
committee does more efficient we ask that people remain patient with our efforts.
