My main assignment in helping the quilt guild in 2015 was to organize and promote our fund raising 4th of July quilt raffle. I determined early on to try some new advising strategies. Starting in May, I posted a single section of one of the blocks in our 4th of July quilt on Facebook, on 3 different sites, as well as sending out group e-mails. I advertising when tickets would go on sale. For 1 month we sold at discount prices, raising $948. Kathleen and I took turns "hosting" the quilt, so people could see it. Starting June 5, prices increased by $1. by mid-June we had raised over $2000, which was my initial goal. Now I've raised it to $3000. At least 15 guild members help to make the blocks and back of the quilt.
