     Things We Do For Others

        
    Bottle Cap Recycling
     
    Bring in your bottle caps (milk, water & softdrink lids) and place them in the box on the info table at guild meetings.
    These will be taken to the collection points to be recycled into play equipment, serving plates, bowls and other useful items.
    The money raised from the sale of these items goes to help communities in need.
     
     

     

    Unwanted blocks or quilt tops or fabric or batting?
     Donate     them and we'll complete the quilts and send them on to a good cause

     
      Quilts For Others (QFOs)
