Donating Quilts

I've done a bit of research and have now found two ways to donate quilts in the St George area that will cut out the need for expensive postage of quilts to other charities.

The two options are:

Bezzina House - the St George Community Cancer Care Lodge. When this facility was built the quilters guild made quilts for all the beds. These have since worn with use and some need replacing or repairing. I have organised for us to visit this lodge at 1pm on the Sunday of our next quilting weekend to see what is there and discuss what is needed.

St George Hospital Fundraising Network - who raffle quilts, sell quilts at their craft stalls or distribute quilts to needy folk as appropriate. I have dates for the craft stalls till the end of 2009 and include them here in case you would like to see what is sold. You might even like to donate some other craft items to the stalls. The stalls are held in the Gray St entrance to St George Hospital (the main entrance) from 8.30-3pm on the following dates:

Tuesday	28-Jul
Thursday	6-Aug
Friday	28-Aug
Thursday	3-Sep
Tuesday	8-Sep
Friday	11-Sep
Saturday	12-Sep
Monday	14-Sep
Thursday	1-Oct
Friday	30-Oct
Thursday	5-Nov
Tuesday	10-Nov
Friday	13-Nov
Saturday	14-Nov
Monday	16-Nov
Thursday	3-Dec
Friday	18-Dec

Those two should give us plenty to work towards for the next few years.
