Quilt Show Countdown

In just two weeks, Hall 3 at the Darling Harbour Exhibition Centre will be buzzing with Guild volunteers setting up for Sydney Quilt Show 2008. It's not too late for you to send in your completed Volunteer Form or to contact the office on (02) 9283 3737 with your availability. The quilt show is a significant undertaking and a strong pool of volunteers will ensure that the team is fresh and enthusiastic to carry out the following important tasks:

• set up (Tuesday 10 June) especially in the morning;
  
• floor monitoring/white glove duties;
• catalogue sales;
• membership renewals and inquiries;
• raffle ticket sales;
  
• demonstrating quilting skills;
  
• treasurer assistance; and
• take down (5.00-7.30pm Sunday, 15 June).

We are especially looking for white glove quilt monitors for Sunday at the quilt show.

If you are entering a quilt in this year's show, it's time to check that your quilt is correctly labelled with a hanging sleeve/velcro strip (as applicable) and to make contact with your "Drop Off Lady" regarding delivery of your quilt. Quilts must be delivered to Drop Off Ladies by Wednesday, 4 June.

Finally, this week is your last chance to purchase tickets for the Gala Dinner. Don't miss out!
