Due to a cancelled speaker, this was a last minute put together program. Emails were sent to members telling them of a swap/raffle. Any UFO could be donated. They were numbered and had a bag with the number. Tickets were 5/$1 so everyone could participate. We thought 3-4 tables would be enough to display everything. I think there were 8 tables, we just kept adding another. Three of us were drawing numbers and as soon as someone claimed it, another number was called. There was a runner for each person drawing. Even going that fast it took about an hour to distribute all of them. Also, there was 1 table with orphan blocks. For 1 ticket you chose which one you wanted. We raised $150-200. Everyone got to get rid of a UFO. And someone new got a try at it. General concensus was to repeat this activity.

Another activity was a sale of someones (who had died) stash and supplies.

Patty Blair did a collage of papers on fabric. An art technique that appealed to our art quilters.
