Fidalgo Island Quilters has started with January of 2010 to collect a donation for a charity “Cause du Jour” each month. Members who are at the meetings may elect to donate what ever sum they wish (or not). The recipients have been suggested by sister members and you are welcome to suggest a charity you love to receive such a donation. The following list has been formed and the dates for the collection follow each Charity name. In some cases I was able to capture the information about who suggested the charity but that is not important to us. The important thing is to allow members an easy and expedient way to make that extra donation from our hearts directly to the charities we esteem. Contact the President to request that your favorite charity be added to the list in turn.
