Marge
Moniz would like to thank all who put tops together and those that
donated completed quilts. The Outreach “mini factory” was very busy this
year because of your generosity with matching up backings to quilts, sewing
and tying quilts. Thank you to all who donated fabric. Thanks to Holice
Turnbow for getting us batting at a good price, along with other items.
With all of this help, we were able to donate
206 quilts this year of 2007.
Here
is a list of which organizations received quilt this year:
Abby house, Southbridge Fire Dept.,
Charlton Fire Dept., Odyssey Health-Care Hospice, Oxford EMTs, Grace House,
Mary Lane Hospital, Quaboag hospice Group, Southbridge YMCA Preschool,
Webster Manor Long Term Care, Harrington Hospital Oncology Dept., Worcester
Interfaith Hospitality Network, UMass Oncology Dept., Bethlehem House,
Sherry’s House, Radius Nursing Home and ICO.
A Thank You Note-
Your gifts were appreciated!
The pile of beautifully wrapped presents at the Holiday Party was
spectacular. They were for disadvantaged children from the area. We
received the following note from Carol Brodeur from YMCA in Southbridge.
Please
extend a thank you to all the quilters involved with giving gifts to local
children. It would have warmed your heart to see the expressions on the
parent’s faces and hear their comments when they picked up the gifts for
their children. Only then do we truly understand the extent your gifts made
for these families. Your kindness and generosity is truly appreciated. On
behalf of the children, let me say “Thank You” again.
Carol
Brodeur, Tri-Community YMCA.
Marge
Moniz and Avis Meskus have pre-cut kits available for those wanting to take
home an Outreach project. Complete
the top and the Outreach Committee will finish it. Look for the Outreach
table at the meeting.
Outreach Group
The
Outreach Group meets the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month from 12:30 - 3
p.m., September through June at the Charlton Grange.
For
more information about the Committee or if you would like to donate fabric,
contact Marge Moniz or bring the fabric to the next
meeting.
