Community Assistance

Community Donations

Following our September meeting, donations were given to two local support groups. Below are the grateful responses we received.

Dear Alison and Carol,

It was a lovely surprise to receive your call Alison. I was in the company of five other Community Cancer Link friends at The Tops on our 'stitch'n'bitch 3 day retreat. Great excitement! We are very grateful to IQ for the opportunity to present our cause and to IQ members for voting CCL to receive $1000. As advised these funds will assist our 'Care Packages' program for families as they tend to their loved family member at end stage of life. CCL do provide a very special service.

Please pass on our thanks for this grant and for the continuing support received from Illawarra Quilters over many years with quilt donations and raffles.

With kind regards

Helen Stavely

Hi Alison

Thank you again for putting Women Illawarra forward to the Illawarra Quilters as your recipient of choice- the $1000 is an amazing donation and we're very grateful to you.

Also, thank you for the beautiful quilt that you have given us. It is stunning! I will make sure that it goes to someone who needs something a bit special in their life.

Warmest regards 

Anne

2023-2024 Committee 

The updated list can be found on the Committee 2023/2024 page or for more information contact Alison at illawarraquilterspresident@gmail.com or Carol Woolley at illawarraquiltersinc@gmail.com 

These pages can only be viewed by current financial Members of Illawarra Quilters Inc. who have been given access with their Gmail account. 

If you are aware of a member who has not yet been given access, please email us on illawarraquiltersmembership@gmail.com  (if the link doesn't work for you, copy it into a new message in your email)  The process is manual so there could be a few days delay before it all gets done!

When you are ready to leave the Members Only pages there are two options: 

• Back to public site  will take you back (although it will be in a new tab) and your Gmail account will remain logged in. If you are working on your own computer/laptop/tablet/phone this could be convenient.

• Logout (of your Gmail account) will log you right out of your Gmail account. If you are working on someone else's computer, at the library or at work this is the safest option. However, you will need to remember your Gmail password because you will need to use it the next time you want to access the Members Only pages.
