Challenge Quilt Awarded
Jeni Kusak Ehlers presented the guild’s improv challenge quilt to Sam Franklin from Shelter Me. Shelter Me will pass the quilt to their partner, Friendship Home. From Sam: "I started ShelterMe in 2012 because I was a victim of domestic abuse and had to leave my pets with my abuser. I couldn’t check on them, so I didn’t know if they were being abused. I got them back after a few weeks, but I didn’t want anyone to feel that again, so when I got to safety, I started ShelterMe. Since inception, we’ve helped hundreds of people and pets get to safety!"
