We've had some lovely Thank You letters for our donations from Sanctuary House and the Concord Palliative Care Unit. Also a nice hand made card from Carl, one of the volunteers at the Palliative Care Unit. Always nice to receive these.
Massey Park Golf Club is holding a fund raiser for the Leichhardt Women's Community Health Centre later this year, so we have donated a quilt for the raffle.
And we had Kim come in to our meeting this time to talk about CaraCare. CaraCare provide a new model for healing for children who have been abused, traumatised or severely disadvantaged. Amongst other things, they run group work programs to help children overcome trauma, one of which is the Wrapped in Angels program where the children make their own quilt/blanket. At the end of the presentation, Kim selected a quilt for a fund raising raffle. Below is a photo of the quilt with the ladies present on the day.
I have told you previously about the lovely ladies of Shepparton (in Victoria), who were generous enough to donate 32 quilt tops to us a few weeks back. Well some of these have come in quilted and finished off.
