The Latest Quilt from Panama Quilters is up for Raffle

The Panama Quilters are back this year with their latest creation for the raffle. Gaenor Speed's beautiful hand painted, hand quilted wall hanging of a Heliconia. Gae is a popular painter here in Panama and has had several successful exhibitions at the Mary Palma Gallery in the Sheraton Hotel in Panama City. As many of you know, each year the club raffles a quilt. They use this money to support a Panamanian child who does well in school but whose family does not have the money to pay for extras like music lessons, swimming lessons, summer camp, books, craft activities, etc. Throughout the school year they also help with school fees, uniforms, books and supplies as well as transportation costs if they have to travel outside their neighborhood to school.

Julio Wong, was the student that was last helped through his high school and college years and is now a registered pharmacist. This year two eleven year old girls have been chosen, Kelsey and Celmaris. Each girl has the full support of both parents, who want them to succeed as much as we do.
    
If you are interested in helping the cause and in a chance to win this beautiful piece of art work, the raffle tickles are, as always: $1.00 each or six for $5.00. The Quilters Club will have the wall hanging and tickets at the Craft Fair in Coronado in November. The winning ticket will be drawn then.
