Farmington Valley Quilters

Quilt Show 2016

Information for Guild Members

This is from Lisa Salvatore

Though I have taken the lead to start organizing our next show, I realize my role as chairperson still requires approval from the guild. In the meantime, I think it’s efficient to get the ball rolling.

The first step is to pull together a board of volunteers. Some of the positions require more time than others. Please feel free to contact me with questions. Lisa Salvatore 860-651-6225

Our first board meeting is Wednesday, January 28th - 7PM at Eno Hall
