It’s a tradition for the Calvert Queen Bees to create a quilt for the Calvert Hospice Festival of Trees and this year is no exception. This year’s beautiful quilt will be on display during the 26th Annual Festival of Trees Thanksgiving Weekend – November 28, 29 and 30th at St. John Vianney Family Life Center in Prince Frederick.
Quilt raffle tickets are on sale now and will be sold during the festival for a donation of $1.00 each or six for $5.00. “Because of this generous donation, 100% of the proceeds go to support Calvert Hospice,” stated Brenda Laughhunn, Executive Director of Calvert Hospice.
The drawing for the winner of the quilt will take place at the conclusion of the Festival of Trees Sunday, November 30th at 4 p.m. Winner need not be present to win and will be notified by Festival of Trees staff.
The Festival of Trees is Calvert Hospice’s largest fundraiser and this year’s theme is “Making Spirits Bright”. All proceeds from the Festival will go to support Calvert Hospice and the Burnett Calvert Hospice House. The House is available to anyone in Calvert County living their final days for whom care at home is not an option.
