Charity
Third Trimester (September – December) focus on Moores Chemo Center at UCSD. We will be accepting donations of lap and throw sized quilts for those individuals receiving treatment at the center.
We are looking to hold our annual charity planning meeting sometime before the November guild meeting. The meeting is open to any member who wishes to take part in the planning of our upcoming year. If you’re interested in taking part, please let our charity coordinator Kristyn know by sending an email or talking to her at a meeting.
