A Message from Dianne

To all the ladies who contributed to the NOTYQ community stall.

Thanks Rosalie for volunteering me for the job and to all the other dedicated ladies who sewed, knitted, quilted, covered, sorted, priced and sold for the stall. The goods donated were admired by all and purchased by many visitors who came to see the exhibition, (everyone commented on the variety and quality of the items for sale).

Special thanks to Kim for all the work she has put in to the stall in previous years. It`s not until you step into another's shoes that you realize the amount of time and effort that was given so generously.

The funds raised at the exhibition will fund the community quilt program that is so widely supported by NOTYQ members and appreciated by those who receive them.

I'm sure everyone will want to join with me in thanking Dianne and her team for the enormous amount of time, energy and creativity they put into raising funds for the NOTYQ Community Quilts Program.
