Sorry everyone

COMMUNITY SERVICE
NEWS
by Betty
Vernillo and Marie Arbucci
It¹s time to
make a delivery. Community service quilts are almost spillingout
of their closet. Our thanks this month to--
Leni Blumenfeld
Carmen Caldeiro
Ruth Case
Margaret DeAcetis
Barbara Goodloe
Connie Hanan
Bev Numssen
Lucy Torres
--all of whom
have completed their "charity" quilts. We also thank
AnaMaria
Caldeiro-Badilla
and Carmen
Caldeiro
for increasing
our supply of wheelchair bags.
If you haven¹t
made your community service quilt, now¹s the time to do it.
We¹ll be anxiously awaiting your offering at our November
and December meetings. We plan to make deliveries to our three
designated charities before the holidays.
If you are
inclined to make a wheelchair quilt (38" x 38"), we could
sure use them. Many of our members have made quilts using
baby/juvenile patterns, which of course are always welcome.
But if you have some fabric that would be appropriate for
a veteran (male and/or female), we¹d appreciate getting some
more wheelchair quilts. We¹ll be at our usual spot at the
November meeting with baskets just waiting for your quilts.
Note: One of
our members has contributed a bag full of dungaree back pockets
and a bag full of fabric strips. Anyone interested in either
or both, please call one of us and we¹ll bring them to our
November meeting.
(Marie or Betty)
