At the Stouffville meeting in April, the raffle  for the quilt was drawn and the winner is Sonja Plunket . She was happy to hear the good news and said the it will work out great for her cottage.
This months meeting was held at my home, due to a mix up at the Legion. any way it worked out fine because those who attended was from Unionville . Small group and we had a lot of fun.
