Quilt
From 2010 PATH Intl. Conference Now on Display
|
|
PATH
Intl. thanks board member Carlene Taylor and her husband, Ron, who
placed the highest bid on this one-of-a-kind quilt at the live auction
preceding the annual banquet at the 2011 PATH Intl. Conference. The
quilt was made by attendees at the 2010 PATH Intl. Conference. Carlene
and Ron donated the quilt to the association for display in the
national office. The quilt now graces one wall of the office (shown
right). Thank you to Lanor Taylor, host committee co-chair Michelle
LaFleur's mother, for putting the quilt together. Thank you also to CEO
Kay Green and her husband Rex Smith for framing this beautiful quilt.
