    News From the Thursday Quilting Group

    The Thursday Quilting Class not only provides instruction and “show and tell”, but it also has the goal of providing “fabric creations” for local organizations for their practical use.

    As the Rose City Senior Center resumed classes this past July, the group decided that its first priority would be to make a “raffle quilt” with the proceeds of which would be for our own Senior Center as a big “Thank You”.  Each class member made a square or two with existing fabric that had been donated over the years by generous senior citizens.  The sashing and borders were completed by classroom instructor Sharon Barry.  The top quilting was completed by Bonnie Doran and her long arm machine.

    The pastel colored quilt that was made is on display in the front lobby for the next few months and raffle tickets are available at Reception.  The raffle drawing will be held on April 29th.  Buy a raffle ticket and support this wonderful Senior Center that provides so much for our area seniors.

     

    A Note from Senior Center Member Helen Krasun:

    Dear Members of Rose City Senior Center,

    Thank you so very much for your cards and prayers on the loss of my son Richard in January.

    Your kindness is truly appreciated.   Sincerely, Helen Krasun
