3,000th Operation Kid Comfort Quilt!

There was never a slow moment at the Belly Up on Sat-urday, September 11th, at the Dance Party to Supportthe Troops. The Fabulous Ultratones kept everyonesinging and dancing to tunes from the 70s, 80s, 90s,and hits from today; the Gypsyettes performed and gavebelly dancing lessons; and the Elite British DJ kept eve-

ryone energized throughout the afternoon. All proceedsfrom the event were donated to the San Diego ASYMCA.

In 4 years of partnership with the American Sewing Guild,the ASYMCA has distributed many quilts to children with aparent deployed or deploying.... 3,000 in fact! The 60 vol-unteers with the American Sewing Guild are the true heartand soul of the program they have donated over 30,000

hours of service crafting these beautiful quilts. If you placedall completed quilts side by side, it would spread across 75football fields! Thank YOU American Sewing Guild!

At the recent Board of Management Meeting,Lyndsay Calhoun, Youth and Community Out-reach Director, announces the accomplish-ments of the extraordinary American SewingGuild Volunteers who crafted their 3,000th quiltin September.
