TUESDAY CLUB QUILT RAFFLE
AND MATCHING THROW PILLOWS!

June 19, 2006 - Odebolt Tuesday Club Quilt Winner

On Saturday, June 17th, at 4 P.M., a name was drawn at the Odebolt Community Center for the Quilt that the members made, and have been receiving donations for, to continue their many community projects and donations. The name drawn was Margaret McGuire of Bakersfield, CA. Mrs. McGuire is the daughter of Lois Peterson Merrill, formerly of Odebolt, and the niece of Eleanor Peterson. She had spent five or six days in Odebolt the week prior to Creek Days visiting relatives and friends and had made a donation toward the quilt. Congratulations to her and thank you to all who donated to this project.
