Pennyroyal Industries located on Dawson Road in Princeton has received a donation that brings back memories of a tradition that raised funds for the facility through a raffle of a homemade quilt.
The family of Sylvia Lane has donated a quilt that Mrs. Lane made and has been in the possession of Kevin Lane since her passing. Sylvia’s daughter Kathy Lane was a client at Pennyroyal Industries and Sylvia made a quilt for many years to be raffled off to help raise operating funds for the local facility.
That raffle was a popular activity and Kevin decided to donate one of the few handmade quilts he still owns to help support the program. This quilt is named “Pink Dogwood”.
