And the winner is .... -
... drum roll please! Pat Yates of Burleson, Texas. What did she win you ask .... Pat won the "Let's Give the Boot to Breast Cancer!" quilt. The Compass Centre sold raffle tickets on this boot quilt all of 2009 and the official drawing was held Sunday, January 10, 2010.
Pat was notified by phone and was absolutely thrilled. When ask who sold her the ticket, she stated she had purchased the ticket during her stay at The Compass Centre. A special thanks to Sandra Smith, Joanie Hartung and Rosemary Switzer for hand delivering this special quilt to Pat on the Sunday afternoon of the drawing on their way home.
We have asked Pat to bring the quilt back with her on her next trip to The Compass Centre so we can get a picture of her and the quilt. Congratulations Pat!
Money ... the OFFICIAL MONEY RAISED has been verified by CCVN and a certified check in the amount of $2,362.00 was made payable to The Susan G. Komen Foundation.and has been mailed to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure's National Office in Dallas.
The "Let's Give Breast Cancer the Boot!" quilt was made at The Compass Centre at our Quilt Pink Weekend in 2006. A special thanks to Bev Ramsey for getting the various groups attending this special weekend to make a boot for the quilt. Due to unusual circumstances, we finally got the quilt top back in our hands and on to Neva Muirhead for the quilting. Thanks Bev and Neva!
In other news .... I was just informed by Jan Ulrich that a small ovarian cancer quilt was sold at a silent auction for $225.00 at a small event in San Antonio. All proceeds go to the local center.
We are still awaiting word for the total amount that was raised for our King Size Ovarian Cancer quilt that was made in January 2009. That quilt was sent to Houston for a special auction, and when we get the total amount that was raised, we will let you know!
Thank you to everyone for supporting The Compass Centre in our quest to give back to our community in helping to raise funds for cancer research and treatment.
All net proceeds from our Compass Centre Cookbook sales are donated to The American Cancer Society. The amount donated for 2009 was $373.10. In the past three years, we are hitting close to a $1000 donation. (The cookbook is $5, Paypal keeps $.45, and the remainder goes to The American Cancer Society).
Thank you all again for helping to make our dream a reality!
