Quilting Friends,
There are many ways to help
Hurricane Victims, both locally and in the Gulf States. If you are still looking for ways to help,
here are some contacts:
Check with your local shops
(www.FloridaQuiltNetwork.com/shops.html)
and guilds ( to see if they have an effort in place as
well. It’s a great feeling to give a
quilt to a charity drive.
OK, here is your COMPUTER TIP: Did you know CTRL-Z will UNDO
the last thing you did in a Windows program?
So if you accidentally delete something, it’s a fast way to get it back.
As always, if your email address changes, please let me
know: subscribe@FloridaQuiltNetwork.com. Thanks

QUILTS TO SUPPORT
EX-OFFENDERS
We need your hands and your hearts to get involved
with a very special community project.
The State Attorney’s Office in Seminole County is sponsoring their
annual Make a Difference Day project on October 22, 2005. The SAO staff
and other community members will be working hard to paint/remodel and furnish a
very special home in Midway. It is the
home of Women of Renewing Minds – a
6 month residential transitional home for female ex-offenders coming back into
our community. Without this program,
many female offenders in Seminole County would end up right back on the streets
and re-arrested after a brief period of time.
Without redirection they are doomed to fail – and this impacts not only
their lives, but the lives of their children and family members, and even you
and me as tax payers!
This new 5 bedroom donated
facility will house 10 more beds – a much needed expansion from the 6 bed
existing facility! Here is where we
need your help!
It is my theory that if we
can show these women that their community believes in their ability to recover,
they will find the strength they need to become productive citizens in our
community – perhaps for the first time ever in their entire lives.
Joining together with our “Hands and Hearts United” theme, I
believe we can make a difference and show that very support where they will see
it every single day of their stay at the program. We need 10 twin quilts
with this theme in muted (earth tone) browns, golds, reds and white color schemes to match the interior of the home.
Please help today!
