NAPLES QUILTERS GUILD, INC.
NAPLES, FLORIDA

The Naples Quilters Guild, Inc., established in 1985, is a Florida-domiciled non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the art of quilting through education, fellowship, and community involvement. Located in Bonita Springs, FL, this esteemed guild has celebrated over three decades (1983 - 2017) fostering connections among quilters and enthusiasts in the Naples area. Meetings are held monthly on the third Thursday at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, featuring programs that include educational sessions, Show and Tell, and business meetings to engage and inform members. Membership in the guild offers a variety of interactive projects such as Block of the Month, Fabric Exchanges, and Secret Pal initiatives, while also allowing members to propose new activities. Special small groups or "bees" provide additional opportunities for like-minded quilters to gather and collaborate. The guild actively engages with its community through public educational events aimed at fostering an appreciation for quilting on a broad scale. Connectivity efforts include an Internet Mail-list for members, particularly useful for those unable to attend meetings in person, such as 'snowbirds.' To support these initiatives, the guild encourages active participation and financial contributions from its membership. The organization operates under the registered Florida business number N09771, with Alice Gaertner among key contacts for new interest sign-ups. The guild is currently led by President Kirk Clausen, Vice Presidents Hilary Bobker and Angela Mcsharry.
