  an effort to honor her wonderful son, Josh, and all other ALS patient
 s, Kathy Thompson invited quilters from across America to join her in 
 the Hopes & Dreams Quilt Challenge for ALS. Kathy's goal was to raise 
 awareness about ALS , to warm the hearts & laps of ALS patients and to
  raise money for research through the sale or silent auction of select
  quilts. The response was amazing! An astounding 1,400 quilts were sen
 t by quilters from around the nation and Canada.\n\nThe artful talent 
 of these generous quilters is only matched by the deeply personal and 
 meaningful stories that accompany each quilt. To showcase the beauty, 
 the art and uniqueness of each quilt - the quilts will be displayed an
 d available for purchase at Richard Stravitz Sculpture & Fine Art Gall
 ery at the opening reception on September 30 and then daily from Octob
 er 1 - October 18. ALL proceeds from the sale of quilts and raffle tic
 kets will go directly to the ALS Association research initiatives and 
 are Tax Deductible. Remember - quilts make beautiful gifts and Christm
 as is coming!\n\nPS: In conjunction with the JT Walk & Beach Party on 
 Sunday, October 3rd our friends at various businesses on Laskin/31st a
 nd the boardwalk will display quilts the weekend of the walk. Thanks t
 o these businesses for showing their support!\n\nFor more information
