New Member Orientation (6:30 p.m.)
Join us on the stage for an orientation to our Guild. This is a great time for new quilters to meet. Learn about the multitude of activities and events the Guild has to offer and how to become involved.
This year our Mentor Night will feature our local Quilt Shops. They will demonstrate techniques in quilting and the new tools that are available in their stops. There will be two sessions at each round table set up in the Hall, about twenty minutes each session.

River City Quilter’s Guild Mentors Program
The River City Quilter’s Guild Mentoring Program helps to make connections between quilters who need a little help and quilters who are willing to share their expertise in a one-on-one basis. Help might be needed for one question or an ongoing friendship could develop. Mentors are available in most areas of greater Sacramento and Woodland. A complete listing of mentors appears in the Member Roster or contact the Mentor Chairperson. Join theMentoring Program>
