November Guild Meeting

At the November meeting Marie Carte told us about the Quilts of Valour program. This program provides quilts to those members of the armed forces who are struggling with trauma as a result of their service to Canada. Also, she reminded us we can show our thanks, and that a gift of a quilt from one Canadian to another brings love and hope when someone is struggling with trauma. If you are interested in this program you can visit http://www.quiltsofvalour.ca/ for more details. Or contact
Marie.
