Atlanta Quilt Corner Labor Day raffle results

 

[October 01, 2018] 

A helpful diner executed the Atlanta Quilt Corner raffle drawing, at The Dixie, McLean, Illinois, Labor Day. The young man drew the winning ticket for the military themed quilt that was raffled to benefit the Atlanta Memorial Community House maintenance fund. The lucky winner is a truck driver that is a regular patron of The Dixie. When contacted, he was very happy to receive the news of his win. He picked up the quilt the 22nd of September.

The Atlanta Quilt Corner thanks all the buyers of tickets for making this year’s raffle such a success. The quilters are already working on next year’s quilt(s). Changes are being made for our 2019 money making project.
