A special mention of thanks to; Moyra who works tirelessly every week sorting the squares into some semblance of order and for the help yesterday chatting to everyone about the project, Pevensey Place from Underberg who brought us beautiful blankets and joined us for the day, the ladies of Amberfield Frail Care who inspire us all, the many helpers who helped hang up, take down, count and pack all the blankets, and to all those anonymous folk out there who donate and support us. We thank you all.' said Gill Pryke as she reviewed the second annual blanket drive.
Congratulations to Thalia (Top image) who won a blanket with her guess of how many beanies were bagged for distribution.
