Attention: Change in location for October Guild Meeting!

We have to change the meeting location for the October meeting as Faith Church will be under construction and can not accommodate us in October. The new location will be St. Paul's Episcopal Church located at 218 W. Ottawa Street, Lansing. It is just north of the Capitol building. They will let us park in the ramp (located just north of the church) - please see the directions as they lead you into the parking ramp. The door on the north side of the church will be open, so it will be very convenient to use the parking ramp.

Moving Permanently?

It is possible that the guild may decide to move our meeting location permanently. If you'd like to find out more about why and what the options are, please read this letter from our president.

Guild Info:

Capitol City Quilt Guild (CCQG) was organized in March, 1984, to encourage fellowship, cooperation, and learning among area quilters and to promote public appreciation for creativity and high standards for quilting.  CCQG is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization giving to the community education, charity quilts as fund-raisers for Habitat for Humanity and hosting quilt shows to spread the art of quilting.  The Guild members make and donate quilts for Haven House, Ronald McDonald House, Christmas stocking shut-ins, chronically and critically ill children in area hospitals, as well as provide free education seminars for the public on the art of quilting.

 

CCQG meetings are held every third Thursday of the month at Faith Church, 2300 Lake Lansing Rd, Lansing MI 48912.  (Except we meet somewhere else in June.)  Social hour begins at 6:45 PM and meetings start at 7:15 PM.  Membership is open to anyone interested in quilting.  The yearly dues are $25.00, which are due in April.  Guests are charged a fee when attending meetings that feature a guest speaker.  Name tags are required and are available at the door for twenty-five cents.
