The Quilt-A-Month Club

The Quilt-A-Month Club is a challenge for individuals to support the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative by making or buying one Priority: Alzheimer's Quilt every month for 6 consecutive months. You can join the challenge at any time, drop out at any time. February 2011 is the first month that counts.

To join, email Kathy Kennedy Dennis with your full name, city, and state. Each month you will email Kathy with the registration number of the Priority: Alzheimer's Quilt you make OR purchase for that particular month. Badges for each month will appear by your name sometime during the first week of the next month so you can brag about your progress to all your friends and relations.

Each month will have at least one challenge. It is optional. You can ignore it or "go for it!" The challenge will be issued a few days before the end of the previous month on the AAQIUpdate blog. (You should go there now and sign up to get the posts delivered to your email box as soon as they are published.)

Please be aware of these important dates, established so the volunteers administering this project can have a life too.

• Register the quilt you make from the 1st to the 20th of the month. OR
• Purchase a quilt from the 1st to the 25th of the month.
• Email QuiltAMonthClub@gmail.com by the 28th of the month with your quilt number.
• After the 28th, you're out of luck for that month. No extensions, no excuses. Timing is everything and the timing is the date stamp according to AAQI's web page/email/blog. Don't wait until the last minute. We're not responsible for lost or misdirected emails.

Because the quilts are processed numerically, we really need you to send in your quilt immediately after you get your registration email. We know it's more expensive for you to mail your quilts in individually, but we're tearing our hair out trying to keep everything straight if they don't come in right away. Help us out please?
