Community outreach –

Bonnie shared that at Quiltcon, there will be a Community Outreach Workspace, where all in attendance can make blocks. All these blocks will be turned over to PHXMQG, and used to piece quilts that will then be donated to various Charities that align with QuiltCon Outreach (Women of color Quilters Network, and Navajo Quilt Project)

For those that have organizations they would like the guild to donate to, you will need to act as the liaison between the guild and that org. Reach Out to Bonnie for more information.
