We are a volunteer organization, and could not survive without help and participation from our members.  In the membership/ fiscal year of 2013-2014 we started a volunteer recognition program to thank those who volunteer for at least 4 hours to help make DQN a success.  Volunteers will be rewarded with a pin the first year, and with a star for each additional year's service.

In order to earn a Volunteer Recognition award the following criteria must be met:

  1. You must be a member of Desert Quilters of Nevada.
  2. You must provide a minimum of 4 hours of documented service to the guild.  Work for charity related to DQN Circles will not be considered volunteering for the guild.  Circle leaders and representatives will qualify for the award.
  3. Activities which benefit the guild will qualify, such as arranging a bus trip which is available to any guild member who is interested.  
  4. Only one award can be earned during the guild year which runs from October 1 through September 30.
  5. The four (4) hours can be served in increments or as one shift such as during the quilt show.

Remember the guild runs on volunteers.  Some of our members have been working for us for over 25 years.  Please do your share to continue to grow Desert Quilters of Nevada!  You are our future.

Committee chairs can help simplify this process by maintaining a master list of their volunteers and turning that in to the Volunteer Recognition Chair. 
This includes but not be limited to the Quilt show and the Retreat.

If you volunteer at the quilt show, you are required to sign in and that is your documentation.  Submitting the form is not necessary. If you forget to sign-in, we will not know you were there.

Please contact Jaine Vaughn at 618-922-0484 if you have any questions.

To make sure your service will be recognized at our Annual Meeting in October, please send Jaine the Volunteer Recognition Form.  You can send the form to Jaine via snail mail, email, or use the comment box located in the Members Only section of our site. 

The form is due by September 30.

Download the form in MS Word format if you wish, or in PDF format if you don't have MS Word.
