Meet Denise Proulx, one of the deaf members of Kinship, who has been a member since 1997 and has attended Kampmeeting seven times. She is also an avid quilter. As those of you who attend Kampmeeting know, Kinship has always provided a signing interpreter for Denise. This year, her eighth summer to attend Kampmeeting, Denise wants to "give back" to Kinship by donating a beautiful quilt that she is working on (see below) to be used as a fundraiser through selling raffle tickets for it.

Denise writes, "The purpose of this fundraiser is that I wanted to help Kinship with the cost of the interpreter fees when I need an interpreter at some of the workshops and especially during the Sabbath worship service, which is the highlight of my week at Kampmeeting. The only way I could think of was to donate my own handmade quilted lap blanket for selling off through a raffle to earn money to help with my interpreter fees. The theme of the quilt is 'Woven Rainbow Lap Blanket.' I thought these rainbow stripes would be perfect to sew into woven blocks, as these rainbow symbols are related to Kinship."

Thus, Kinship is offering Kinship members an opportunity to participate in this raffle for Denise's beautiful "Woven Rainbow Lap Blanket" for only $10 per ticket. The quilt will be on display at Kampmeeting. You may purchase any number of tickets at any time during Kampmeeting week, and you may purchase tickets in advance online (see link below). Remember, the more tickets you buy, the greater your chance of winning! The drawing for the quilt will be held on Saturday night of Kampmeeting (July 19, 2008) at the Talent Show.
