Sew Much More: Quilters and Fiber Artists Turn Art into Action

The Rotarian Fellowship of Quilters and Fiber Artists transforms creativity into a powerful force for good. This vibrant group brings together Rotary members who share a passion for quilting and fiber arts, using their talents to promote fellowship and service.

At the Rotary International Convention in Calgary, the fellowship's dedication truly shined. Through their booth, they raised over $9,000 USD for The Rotary Foundation (TRF) by offering unique, handcrafted products to attendees in exchange for donations.

Now, you have a chance to own a piece of this incredible work and support a great cause. A few select items from the event are available from the Edmonton chapter. To get one, simply email Maureen Liviniuk at Mliviniuk@gmail.com or Donna Nicoll at donna.nicoll@telus.net.

Once your item is confirmed, you'll be asked to make an online donation to the TRF (Canada) Polio Fund. Not only will you receive a tax receipt, but you'll also earn points towards a Paul Harris Fellow recognition. If shipping is needed, you can cover that cost with an e-transfer.

Don't miss this opportunity to acquire a beautiful, handmade item while helping Rotary create lasting change.
