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. Quilt
