NYQuilts! Annual Quilt Show!

Help Wanted - NYQuilts! Committees

Although all the individual tasks needed to make a quilt show happen aren't listed below, these are the main committees and the things they do to make NYQuilts! happen each year. Many of these committees would love to have the help of an extra person or two, even if only for a short time or a particular task. We provide on-the-job-training as needed.

Perhaps you can spare an evening to stuff envelopes or help make a few phone calls. Perhaps your friendship group or scout troop can spend a few hours white gloving or helping with set up or take down. We will find a spot for you. Although the committees last from year to year, many of the individual jobs are short-term and would really benefit from a set of hands or two... or four.
