Stop The Violence Traveling Quilts Exhibit

Thank you to our presenting sponsors, State Farm and Helen Scott Insurance Agency, for helping to make this exhibit a reality.   We also give special thanks to our exhibit sites for hosting the quilts.   We hope you will join us at one of the sites.  Peace begins when we all work together.
