March 2022 Meeting Highlights

3/30/2022

 
The program for our March guild Zoom meeting was very unique as we welcomed multiple guest presenters who represented several of the charities that our guild supports with donations of our crafts. This was an extraordinarily touching and very informative evening as we heard first hand stories of how our donations are valued by their recipients, and by the people who work or volunteer at the charities.

​Our guests included:

Josee Laplante, RN, BScN, Clinical Manager of The Ottawa Hospital, Special Care Nursery
recipients of many of our little preemie quilts

Pat Tait, volunteer team lead at the Arnprior & District Food Bank Inc. who fill and distribute the fabric drawstring bags that we donate.

​Cathie McOrmond, Resource Development, at Lanark County Interval House and Community Support in  Carleton Place who have been recipients of twin bed quilts

​Nancy Arbogast, Regional Representative in Ottawa for Quilts of Valour, Ottawa. Our guild members have donated quilts of comfort for injured Canadian Armed Forces members past and present.

Gwen Pennings, Vice-President for the Pakenham group of Victoria’s Quilts who make and donate quilts to people living with cancer in Canada. Gwen is one of several of our guild members who are members of this Pakenham group.

We were in awe of the huge impact that our donations can have, and resolved to increase our efforts to support these charities.
