MISSION STATEMENT
Independence Hall Quilters is dedicated to promoting and preserving the art and craft of quilting through fellowship, education, and community outreach.

OUR GOALS
Our association goals include but are not limited to the following:

• Provide our members with learning experiences where they can use and develop quilting skills.
• Organize and present an annual Quilt Faire to display the work of our guild for our community and to raise money to continue our mission.
• Maintain an active and current library of quilting and needlework books.
• Create an annual Scholarship Quilt to be raffled to raise money to provide scholarships for local high school students planning to attend college.
• Create a supply of “comfort” quilts and pillowcases to be donated to various charitable organizations in the community, such as Child Protective Services (CPS) and the Sheriff’s Department.
• Create an American Doll package to be raffled to raise money which will be used to fund a supplemental arts program at a Calaveras County school.
• In addition to the goals stated above, contribute up to 10% of the previous year’s Quilt Faire net profits to philanthropic or scholarship programs with the approval of the Board, e.g. the local food bank, community hospice, etc.
