| Annually, members make a raffle quilt and sell tickets for $1.00. The drawing is held in November where the winning ticket is drawn at a Chapter meeting on odd-numbered years, and the Night Chapter meeting on even-numbered years. The proceeds from the sale of tickets go to the Quilt Educational Fund. |
