Quilts For Veterans

We have graciously been given quilts made specifically for persons (preferably Veterans) in wheelchairs.  These beautiful quilts have been designed and made by Marianna Hradec and her friend in Moyie, BC.

So far I have been able to present 3 of these quilts to Matthew , John and Don (special request from Marianna). All  3 of these veterans presently reside at the Colonel Belcher.  I have asked the Recreational Therapist if she is aware of any other Veterans who could benefit from these awesome quilts – she is working on it.

Other than information, Please reach out to our correspondent Representative if any of the Chapter members are aware of someone who could benefit from a quilt. Thinking of Bob who is in the Belcher as well and although he doesn’t use a wheelchair he spends most of his time sitting in his chair and reading.
