The Atlanta Quilt Corner will be holding four quilt raffles this year to benefit the Atlanta Memorial Community House maintenance projects.

Purchased raffle tickets are good through all four quilt drawings. Winner need not be present at any of the drawings.

This year four quilts will be awarded throughout the year.
