RE: You said you drew names for it, did everyone buy a raffle ticket so the proceeds would go to help pay for the reunion? It is a lovely quilt. I think you did a marvelous job on it. I wish I could do as well.
No raffle.....We each donate a certain amount of money and all contribute in whatever ways that we are able. Some more than others. It just depends on the family. That way everyone can afford to come. The quilt giveaway is just a bonus for the evening of the biggest day of the reunion. We usually show old movies of the family (most from the 30's and 40's) and after the movie that is when we have the drawing for different types of small door prizes and then the quilt at the last. It is a lot of fun.
