Quilt Auction to Raise Funds for Project Lakota

On April 2 following Meeting for Worship at
Urbana-Champaign Friends Meetinghouse, Ellen
Baranowski and Bobbi Trist will speak about their
experiences working with Project Lakota on the Pine
Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. After the
presentation, a traditional star quilt made by Lakota
women will be offered through a silent auction to
raise funds for Project Lakota. 

The public is invited to attend the presentation as
well as Meeting for Worship, which is from 11 AM-noon.
The meetinghouse is located at 1904 E. Main, Urbana. 
A potluck dinner  will follow the talk and quilt
auction.

Project Lakota works to improve housing and living
conditions of the Lakota people. Project Lakota
sponsors a work camp each summer.  Volunteers help
Lakota families build new houses and repair existing
homes. The project works with three organizations on
the reservation, including Habitat for Humanity  and
two local Indian groups.

Providing adequate housing is one of the most pressing
needs on the Pine Ridge reservation.  Project Lakota
helps families improve their housing conditions and
brings hope to the people of the reservation. Project
Lakota is under the care of the Saint Louis Friends
(Quaker) Meeting.
