April Community Service News
This month is a big delivery month for Community Service. We have given over 36 quilts sizes youth through adult to Gerard’s House with more set aside for later delivery this month. May 20 is the date for the SF Women’s Club Baby Shower. Several organizations will be present to accept baby quilts that we have been stockpiling. So keep those fun, bright baby quilts coming (45” x 45” to 50” x 50”). If you are coming to the retreat stop by my demo on working with flannel. Love to show you a quick fun flannel quilt for all ages, even that teen going off to college.
Since 1997 Gerard’s House has been serving the needs of local children and adults in grief. They continue to not only counsel grieving children and adults at their facility but are reaching out to schools where suicide prevention is needed. In addition, children and teens living with seriously ill family members are also welcome at Gerard’s House.
Below is a photo of a few participants working on their quilts at Gerard’s House. (Photo taken by staff member with signed approval to show child’s face.)
As they say “nothing stays the same”. With Trudie’s move to Las Cruces in the near future, Peggy has been asked to turn her financial management skills to the task of Treasurer. Kay Welch has kindly offered to step in to partner with me in Community Service. Thanks to both Peggy and Kay, I so appreciate your willingness to try new roles.
See you at the retreat!

Current Needs - We have made a commitment to Gerard’s House for 50 Children’s Quilts in April and another 50 in November. This is not an increase in the quilts we donate to Gerard’s House, but it is a new deadline. So keep in mind Kid’s bright and colorful quilts (@50” x50” give or take) and baby quilts (45” x 45” give or take). Don’t have kids fabrics in your stash? We do. Come check our stash out during a Drop Off. Or contact either Peggy or Dru.
This is a big file. Click and be patient. It will start to download in a minute or two. Will seem longer, but it will happen. :)
