Quilt Raffle Winner Announced

AAUW Funds

  We have a winnerof the AAUW-inspired quilt.  Jan Bowden held the winning ticket drawn on Sunday Decembr 4.  HHL branch members and guests gathered for food and one last chance to buy a winning ticket.  But Jan beat them all, winning the AAUW inspired wall hanging donated by fiber artist Jacqueline Dukes

  The branch thanks Jackii for donating the hand-stitched and hand-quilted wall hanging and all of those who bought chances to win it.  All proceeds support AAUW Funds.

  If you missed buying a ticket but would like to support women in their thrust for education, please donate at www.aauw.org or send us an email for more information.  Thank you for supporting AAUW Funds.
