1 Northeast Georgia Chapter October Great news! We have, once again, outdone ourselves. See page 2 for details Thanks to Ilona, Susan and Deborah for multiple donation trips this month. You are awesome! Are you enjoying Fall? I am since the weather is cooler the last couple of days which allows me to work longer without heat exhaustion. Enjoy the season and if you haven t heard, my husband, Harold and I are continuing our annual Halloween party after a 2 year hiatus. If you haven t received a Save the Date note and would like the details, let me know at Info@NeGaQuiltsforKids.org. It s a Haunted Open House and the ghouls are already sprucing up the joint. One last thing, please return all kits that you have signed out by the end of the year. There seems to be quite a few out and I d like them back, no questions asked, finished or unfinished. See page 2 for drop off site addresses. Thanks for all the good work you do, Betty Wright, chapter leader Northeast Georgia Chapter One stitch, one quilt, one kid at a time...
