A big thank you to all who sold tickets for us: Caba’s and Heart ‘n’ Sole Quilts in Grand Forks, and Tomorrow’s Treasures in Greenwood. Also thanks to those who allowed us to sell tickets at their venues: Founders Day in Greenwood, Overwaitea Foods, Canada Day, and Park in the Park in Grand Forks. Not to forget those volunteers and board members who made the quilts and sold the tickets—thanks! All proceeds from this raffle go to the purchase of books and other materials for the library.
