The Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative
is offering more than 2,100 Priority: Alzheimer's Quilts for sale at
International Quilt Festival in Houston. Please head over to the front of the Exhibit Hall, Row S and buy a few
quilts (Oct 31-Nov 4). All profits fund Alzheimer's
research.

If you would like to help sell
quilts, rope people into the booth (it is Texas after all) or generally lend a
hand, they need you. Sign up for a 2-3 hour time slots (and get free admission
on the days you volunteer) or join their Text Brigade and help "as needed."
