NOTE:
Only the following people will automatically
receive a copy of the 2008 brochure in the
mail:
§
Those
who registered for classes and/or dorm rooms
at the 2007 Festival
§
Those
who entered
quilts in the 2007 quilt contest
§ Volunteers who
worked 4 hours at the 2007 show, earning
2008 priority registration
The VQF “mailing list” has
thousands of addresses, many
of which
are old and invalid.
VQF loses
money each year
in returned brochures,
particularly those of "snowbirds"
who have different winter addresses.
As a result, the list will be purged this
summer. Only
the names of those in the categories above and
those who have submitted brochure requests will
be retained. Those
who prefer not to order a brochure always
have the option of viewing it on this site.
The entire 2008 brochure and registration
forms will be posted by 1 March 2008.
