Friendship Stars Program
Many years ago, some guild members decided upon an idea of sending a 6” Friendship Star block to members to express encouragement. Over the years the guild has grown and schedules became too busy. This makes our commitment an even bigger impact on our members! There are too many times that our friends have been under the weather, lost a love one, in the hospital or just need our best wishes. We need to let our friends know that we are thinking of them. Our emphasis is not an invasion of privacy but rather that we want to make sure that our friends to know that we care. Again, we will only do this with permission. Please know that we will respect each person’s wishes. This is all about kindness, support and encouragement! Sometimes just a thoughtful gesture can help brighten a stormy day. Our friends are the best part of our guild! We all have times when we need to know that we are not alone. This small token is very simple… just friendship. Our intentions are to help our members to provide a “thinking of you” act of kindness. Ann Rennier and Nancy Skelly have volunteered to chair this committee and both will be your point of contact. If you have knowledge about a guild member who needs a thoughtful bit of comfort and have the consent of that person, please contact Ann or Nancy. They will in turn, start the ball rolling to get blocks made. All guild members can help by being available to make blocks now. If you would like to contribute to the start up bank of blocks, please contact Ann or Nancy. This is strictly volunteer, no requirement for anyone. If you are interested in making a contribution now, you can use a tone on tone off white background with a blue print for the star. Sign your name on the back (on the seam allowance) using a pigma pen or thin sharpie pen. There will be a drop off box available at each of the guild meetings.
If you have any questions… you know who to contact, right? |
