Business
Opportunity Quilt was won by Carla Formel's sister-in-law.  She recieved it in the mail on Thursday and loves it.  Carla's husband bought some tickets and wanted to do something nice for his sister, who is a very giving person, so he put her name on a number of tickets.  They were talking about how neat it would be if she won the quilt and then Judy called with the news she had won it.

Trey and his mother and card trick quilt.
