QUILT RAFFLE
Beginning Monday, November 1st, the Friends of the North Manchester Public Library will raffle off a handmade quilt by Cass Rish! For several years, Cass Rish has donated her hand-stitched quilts to The Friends of the North Manchester Public Library's fund-raising quilt raffle. Cass began quilting in 1988 while watching Ken Burns' documentary on the Civil War. She started out machine-stitching her quilts. However, difficulty in achieving sharp, square corners on the machine convinced her to switch to hand-stitching them in 1988. Each of her quilts is definitely a unique work of creative skill and heirloom-worthy art.
Tickets will be sold from Monday, November 1st through Tuesday, November 23rd at the library. Raffle tickets can be purchased at the front desk for $5 apiece or 5 tickets for $20. Cash, checks, or credit cards are all accepted. The winner will be drawn at 5pm on Tuesday, November 23rd. Participants do not need to be present to win.
Money raised from ticket sales helped fund the programs, projects, and purchases that make the library such a vital center of community activity for all ages.
