The Streator Leading Ladies created an award in honor of Beckie Chismarick.

Beckie was a member of SLL and a past president. The award will be given to a female senior at Woodland High School who is active in her community, with a focus on leadership and community service. The plan is to award this every year in honor of Beckie, a former Woodland Key Club advisor.

The award of $500. will be presented at the Woodland Awards Night on Wednesday, May 10.

The money made from this quilt raffle will seed the award.

The Marcella quilt is 94 inches-by-94 inches. It was pieced by Pam Riss in the past 12 months. Tickled Pink, a new quilt store in Pontiac, sponsored this quilt as a block of the month during 2022. The quilt was designed by Nancy Rink for Marcus Fabrics. The pattern uses the Marcella Marchives fabric collection designed by Nancy Rink. The final long-arm quilting was done by Nancy Fessel of Ransom.
