the cotton industry in the Northern Oklahoma and Kansas area in addition to

providing services similar to those of a field representative. He offices out oOCCA's warehouse in Liberal, Kan., where he services each of the four Kansas

January 9—Quilt Retreat — Help start the new year off with fun,

sewing, and fellowship as we hold our Quilt Retreat to make charity quilts.

Bring your sewing machine, or just your talents, as there will be work for eve-

ryone. We will gather at St. Paul’s at 9:00 and lunch will be provided by the

Board, we’ll eat at noon. Our quilts will focus on adults, men and women, to

benefit residents of nursing homes and/or soldiers. Suggested size is approx

mately 45” x 56”. Here’s the perfect opportunity to dig out those fabric

scraps and put them to a wonderful use. There will be people available to help

carry in machines and supplies. There is a lot that can be accomplished withou

a machine so everyone doesn’t have to bring one.

Fundraising Report by Sue RoyI'm pleased to report the Welcome Home Quilt

Lucille Sievert of Ponca City. She has always

wanted to buy a bed sized quilt, but was un-

able to because of the cost. Her daughter has

made her wall quilts which she treasures. Shewas absolutely delighted to win. She called

several quilt guild members to let them know

 just how excited about winning she was. The

ticket was purchased at Oktoberfest.
