Old Business

MQA Fall Gathering - PTQ will be hosting the MQA Fall Gathering on October 14-15, 2022. Pat H has donated a fall themed quilt for PTQ to raffle off at the Gathering. A motion was made by Judy S. and seconded by Watana C. along with a unanimous vote that all money collected by the raffle will be donated to a charity of Pat's choice. Tickets for the raffle will be sold 1 - $1 or 6 - $5. Ticket packets will be ready to pick up at the August meeting. Tickets will be sold up to and throughout the Gathering and the winner will be drawn at the end of the Gathering.

Bereavement Quilts for Hospital - Gwen S. talked with a hospital rep who said they had enough bereavement quilts but were in need of crocheted baby hats and receiving blankets. If anyone is willing and able to make these items, please bring them to the meetings and we can deliver them to the hospital.

New Business

Rent Quilt for RAC - PTQ will again be donating a quilt to the RAC for them to use how they see fit to raise money for the center which allows us to be able to continue to meet at the RAC at not cost. We already have a quilt ready to donate for 2022.
