Cherokee Rose Quilt Guild - Community Service
Each year the members of the
Guild select a project that benefits the citizens of Douglas
County. Examples of these projects in recent years included
Quilts for family members of the National Guard unit deployed
from the Douglasville Armory, a reproduction quilt for the
Sweetwater State Park Museum which was signed by descendent's
of the evacuees who returned for a reunion in 2005, bedding for
animals at the Humane Society, financial donation to the
accessible playground near Clinton Farms and more.
Community Service 2024
The Boys & Girls Club will be the recipient of our 2024 community service.
We are doing pillowcases! Pillowcases should be the two fabric type, the main fabric with a
coordinated cuff. Do NOT add the third fabric flange. Two coordinating fabrics, simple pattern,
and about an hour of time is all it takes to contribute. You can do one or ten (or more) - I’m
setting a goal of 200! If you want to help and need help in anyway, please let me know.
The Boys & Girls Club is a national organization with a location in Douglasville, next door to Hunter Park. The Douglas Co. location currently has 200 “kids” (8-18) enrolled. On a daily basis during the school year, 120 are attending the programs provided. During summer, the number
is close to 180 daily. Programs include sports & recreation, education (tutoring), art, health & wellness, workforce readiness, character & leadership (including mentoring), and digital learning.
