Submission does not guarantee you will be awarded a grant, but it never hurts to apply. Applications are currently available for the 2017 year. Last day for submission is June 1 and awards will be announced at the June meeting. Applications are to be sent to Betty Hancock (Mini-Grant Committee Chair). You can find her address and on the membership roster. We are pleased to offer this opportunity to help our members in their quilting endeavors. Attached is a PDF of the application.
