Community Service
Community service is at the heart of our Guild. Our membership makes quilts using donated fabric and batting. Outside sources also donate these type of items to the Guild in support of our efforts. Members may use any of this fabric to make the comfort quilts.
The committee is responsible for the management of donated fabric, batting, and storage of the completed comfort quilts.
Communications
Newsletter
Each month the Guild publishes a newsletter containing a message from the president, meeting minutes, treasurer's report, classes, activities, new members, and more. The newsletter is emailed to each member.
This committee is responsible for attaining the information from the President and all committees, and verifying the accuracy of the published information.
Website
Our on-line website is public. It provides information about our Guild and all of our activities for the community, and provides a place for donor and potential members to contact us and ask questions.
Private pages within the website require a Guild membership.
This committee collects, develops and verifies all content published on the web site, and manages member access.
Our Facebook page is another way in which our members can share their projects, make comments, and ask questions of other members. It is private and membership is required.
This committee manages all aspects of this page including member access.
Publicity
Because of the community involvement, the Guild periodically wants to inform the Public of activities and events we are hosting for them. We make these announcements via press releases to various multi-media outlets.
The committee is responsible for all public announcements, press releases, and publicity for the Guild. All committees must coordinate with this committee for their public event.

Memory Quilt
A special quilt is made in honor of each Guild member who passes. The Guild offers the quilt to the family to keep in memory of their loved one or donate back to the guild. If donated, it is presented at the Blessing of the Quilts ceremony and given to one of our charity organizations. Each deceased member is recognized for their accomplishments to the Guild during the ceremony.
This committee is responsible for all aspects of these quilts from piecing, quilting, binding and then labeling.
Guild Shirts
Guild members can purchase shirts with the Guild logo and the member's name. Polos and T-shirts come in various colors and sizes.
