Take time to stop by the Library and see the beautiful "Stars of Heaven", a hand-quilted, king-size Amish quilt in greens, reds, and cream.
The American Association of University Women-Tyler Branch is raffling this quilt to help fund its education and community service projects, which include annual scholarships for a graduating TJC woman, one for a graduating Smith County high school girl, and a new "Proven Scholar" scholarship for a woman attending TJC, UT Tyler, or Texas College who has earned at least 30 hours of college credit.
Raffle tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20 and may be obtained from Robin Insalaco. You don't want to miss the chance to own this beautiful piece of art!
