The Sisters of the Yam African American Quilters Guild of Richmond, Virginia was organized in August 2001. They currently have eleven members. Each year since 2005, the guild has made an Opportunity Quilt for the benefit of The Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia, which is located at 00 Clay Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219. All proceeds go the the educational programs of the museum. Pictures of Opportunity Quilt 2009 may be view at: sistersoftheyam@brinkster.net. Raffle tickets may be purchased from the museum. Tickets prices are: 1 ticket for $ 5.00 and 3 tickets for $10.00. Tickets may be obtained by sending a check made out to the Black History Museum indicating the number of tickets desired and enclosing a stamped self addressed envelope for returning the tickets to the buyer. The drawing will be held on March 22, 2009. The winner will be notified by phone on the day of the drawing. Information about the museum may be viewed at: www.blackhistorymuseum.org.
