  VFW 10302 is sponsoring a raffle for this quilt. All proceeds will be
used for our Annual Illinois Vietnam Veteran 24-hour Vigil. All will be able
to view this quilt at our next Vigil meeting next Saturday. Raffle Changes
are $5 each or $10 for 3. I will try to have raffle tickets ready by then
but this may be tough to get done by then.
