volunteers wanted: Greenburgh quilt project

THE GREENBURGH QUILT PROJECT -VOLUNTEERS WANTED
Earlier this year residents of the Village of Ardsley completed an amazing initiative—a quilt project led by Sania Samad and Alka Shukla. We would like to invite residents of Greenburgh who enjoy quilting to participate in a similar Quilt project initiative. I suggested that the Quilts highlight Greenburgh’s acceptance of diversity and inclusiveness. Will ask if the Quilt, once completed, can be hung up at Town Hall. To learn about the Ardsley Quilt project please watch the video below. This was the subject of a recent show: Solving Problems.
If interested in participating in a Greenburgh Quilt project initiative please contact the committee-e mail address below.
