WOW! Auction success....

 I'm very happy to report that the two stunning handmade quilts donated to support Rotaplast brought in $800 at a recent auction.  That translates to EIGHT children having their lives transformed by the gift of facial surgery.  Plus... the two lucky bidders who will keep these treasures will forever be reminded of how people working together improve the lives of others.... a network of quilters supporting a network of Rotarians.... all making the world happier. 

Thank you to Bethlehem Morning Star Rotary in PA for highlighting Wrap-A-Smile at their Rotaplast fundraiser.   And huge thanks to the quilt makers, Sue T of Anacortes, WA, for her blue stars and to Deb W of MI for her whimsical trucks.  The Sunshine Online Quilt Guild continues to earn my appreciation for linking together talented quilters with generous hearts. Thank you all!!

Enjoy the auction wrap-up and pictures sent to me by event organizer Susan B:   

The fundraiser was a HUGE success! We partnered with the PA Playhouse for a performance of "Deathtrap".  During intermission we auctioned the quilts and raised $800 for our next mission! The event was wonderful! Everyone really enjoyed the play.  After the performance, we served Octoberfest food and beverages.  The actors came out after the show for some 'talk back' with the audience and we had a lively discussion with them.  Some very generous local merchants and Rotarians donated some wonderful gift baskets which were raffled off.  For many this was their first time to the PA Playhouse.  The performance and set were fantastic so I am sure they will be back.  Hopefully we will be too, next year!
