Charity:    Eleanor N. wanted to clarify that it was other voices at the June meeting talking about "keeping it local" regarding the participation of Camaco and distribution of the quilts we make for charity to those in need.  Some of the ideas were discussed out loud, but there was no action taken by the members in attendance.  

For example, it's been suggested there was a need caused by the Ohio floods that occurred earlier in the year.  Also "Quilts for Kids", a Philadelphia organization has been mentioned.   Eleanor welcomes your ideas or contacts regarding the recipients of our guilds charitable activities.
