November is here! We turned our clocks
back! The sun is shining! This is also
a month of reflection to remember our Canadian soldiers who lost their lives
for our freedom, and for those who are ready to defend our country as well as
helping others to achieve peace around the world.
Jean Humpage recently made a trip to
Belleville and met Jan Easton of the Quilt of Valour Canada Society. She delivered 10 Quilt Hugs on behalf of
RVQG. These were the ones that we
assembled and collected during the 2014-2015 season. Thank you, Jean, for making the trip and
delivering our treasures.
Quilt of Valour – Canada Society was started
in 2006, and has since delivered more than 6,000 quilts to our injured soldiers
and veterans. They hope to reach 10,000
quilts by 2018. Their website, www.quiltsofvalour.ca is worth visiting. Take a moment to read their inspiring newsletter. Plus, they have
several patterns available to make QoV quilts.
Thank
you for your participation in bringing comfort to members of our Canadian Armed
Forces.
