Request List 6 July 2020
Hi all,
Good morning, Did you check out last week’s “Weekly Dispatches” on Facebook or the blog? Wow! Aren’t the designs just amazing? Our Aussie Hero Quilt volunteers are just the best and so incredibly creative. What wonderful colour and comfort you are sending off to be enjoyed by our deployed men and women.
To add to news in previous posts, we are now a team of five as we welcome newbie Catherine to the admin team assisting Jan-Maree whilst she is taking care of some health issues. It is our pleasure to support you, the volunteers sewing but please bear with us while we are on L plates learning the ropes and getting to know all of you. We are slowly coming up to speed and hopefully continuing to support you, the extraordinary AHQ volunteers, to enable the amazing contribution you are making. Request List, Gratitude Posts, Weekly Dispatches etc will all continue and likewise, we will continue to value your support of AHQ and those whom AHQ supports.
Any queries you might have, please don’t hesitate to contact via the AHQ email as per usual with any queries and we will assist you from there. We may not know the answer but it will be our pleasure to research and get back to you. You may find your query is answered by me or perhaps Alex, Courtney or Lisa. We will be ‘on duty’ in rotation. I do wish however to bring to your attention the link to info regarding posting off your laundry bag or quilt – click here for up-to-date info > http://aussieheroquilts.blogspot.com/p/posting-information.html.
Don’t forget, if you look at today’s Request List and need help choosing, please feel free to let us know, we will be ready to reply and offer guidance by email. Our goal is to help you find a request that you will be comfortable with doing. As always there’s an amazing breadth of requests; there’s no doubt about it, our deployed can be incredibly imaginative with their preferences. I look forward to seeing the photos of completed quilts and LBs when they are ready to post off.
It is likely that I will respond to your emails later today when you respond to select a quilt or laundry bag to sew. I am looking forward to connecting with you. Please say hi! In the meantime, read on!
Cheers,
Clarissa
Working with Alex, Courtney, Lisa, Catherine and Jan-Maree…and the team of other wonderful AHQ volunteers.
