The Golden Needle/Sewing Basket allowed the local River Heritage Quilt Guild to use their class space to make pillowcases for Children's Hospital as part of the ConKerr Cancer national pillowcase effort. Pillowcases were made by Darla Snider, Vickie Howard, Cheral Benthal, Joan Meyer, Kim Stueve, Joyce Holloway, and Linda Tansil.
