2014 Hopes and Dreams for ALS Challenge 

September 2014

Thank you to all of our members that made and donated a quilt for the 2014 Hopes and Dreams for ALS Challenge.  We were able to donate 56 quilts this year.  We would also like to thank our Charity chair, Chen, for organizing prizes and providing the encouragement that lead to the success of this year's challenge.

In addition to the 56 quilts made during the Hopes and Dreams for ALS Challenge, our members made nine quilts that were donated to persons in need, and makeup pouches that were given to girls living at a local home for girls.
