2012 GHQG Scholarship

The 2010 GHQG Scholarship was awarded to Jarica Golino at the Steering Committee meeting in June. Jarica's mother, member Jean Blain of Ellington Country Quilters, accepted the award on her behalf and showed a few of Jarica's lovely quiltes. Jarica is attending nursing school and she received a $500 scholarship to be used for purchasing textbooks and supplies. 

*Remember, members...the quilt show is the source of our scholarship's funds. The Scholarship committee is chaired by Amanda Gabehart.
