In one of the last official acts for the Uhuru Quilters Guild in 2020, you decided to cast your vote for me to become your next coordinator. With that said, let me begin by saying a very heartfelt “thank you”.
On behalf of the entire Guild, we would like to express our gratitude to Maxine Morgan for her dedicated years serving as Uhuru’s Coordinator.

Let us begin by recognizing that 2020 was a challenging year for all of us. Thanks to Cornelia Carter-Sykes, for taking us forward into the era of Zoom, a new technology which we will continue to utilize until we can meet in person again. We will continue to develop new and exciting ways to meet and exchange ideas, and new projects while serving the charitable needs of our community.

We have made through 2020, and look forward to all that 2021 has to offer. I wish you all a warm and Happy New Year.
Azalia O. Butler
Uhuru Coordinator
