This article will give you a behind-the-scenes look at how Almost Home Inc. put together their most successful event to date and strengthened their donor relationships.
Quilting for Community
What could be better than raising money to support not only your membership but your community? Blue Valley Quilters Guild does exactly that with the funds they raise.
