November 25 
9:00 am and 6:30 pm meetings
Freedom Foundation
​(local Veteran's organization)
Chuck Ellis, President and CEO

As our meeting is the Monday before Thanksgiving it would be a great time to help Freedom Foundation prepare for their Christmas Eve Brunch and Christmas Day Breakfast/Lunch. In 2018 they served brunch to 40 Veterans and guests as well as 47 Veterans and guests on Christmas Day. I would like to think we can help them serve Veterans and guests again this year as well as using any additional funds beyond those needed to prepare and serve the meals to help purchase gift certificates for the Veterans.

Their pantry is open year round and you can bring any of the following to help keep it stocked: Peanut Butter, SPAM and other canned meat, Jelly, Canned Fruit, Spaghetti Sauce, Toothpaste, Deodorant
 
Workshop
Working on your SOS, QOV or other charity quilt!

Fat Quarter Lottery 
Simply bring a fat quarter (usually 18” by 22”) of good quality cotton in the theme  (see below) . Sign in at the Fat Quarter Lottery table and your name maybe drawn to win a bundle of several fat quarters. Usually there is enough participation for several bundles to be created so there will be several winners each month.
