The CEDAR KEY WOMAN`S CLUB fundraiser for FISHER HOUSE of Gainesville came to a "finale" on Sunday during the Old Florida Celebration of the Arts. A beautiful queen size quilt was donated last fall by Judy Byrne, of Hondo, Texas. Judy is the sister of C.K. residents, Charles and Charles Ramsey. The CEDAR KEY WOMAN`S CLUB sold 500 tickets and collected over $2000 in donations for the quilt raffle- --and the winner was Kris Swanson of Bigfork, Minnesota. Kris was delighted with her prize, and she and her husband are part-time residents of Cedar Key since 1994. CKWC would like to thank Capital City Bank, Drummond Bank, and the Salty Needle Quilt Shop for helping the club with this fundraising! Fisher House Fundraising will become a focus for the CKWC as well as the Support Our Troops program which began in 2002. Keep your eyes open for the next CKWC fundraising effort for these well -deserved programs helping our veterans and troops. Eileen Senecal, Chairperson for the Support Our Troop program and the Fisher House Fundraising Program Kris Swanson: Winner of the quilt.
