Sadly, we have made the decision to cancel the bus trip to The International Quilt Festival April 8. All tickets will be fully refunded.
The reason is simple…..sign up will not cover our costs. Although early feedback showed you wanted a bus again, the actual numbers do not reflect that, and to get a full refund for the bus contract we must cancel before March 1.
Any guild organized outing such as a bus trip, is offered to our members and public as a service, an educational and enrichment opportunity. That said, we must be good stewards of our memberships dues, therefore our bylaws state we must cover all costs thru ticket sales and everything we can to keep your ticket cost as low as possible. We regret this decision and any inconvenience this causes you.

Sorry to hear this, especially after all the work you put into it. But sounds like a fiscally sound decision.
