Hi all,
Please, please, please read this preamble each week as the info does
change. I am receiving a lot of questions from people who have not read this
info so you would make it easier for me too if you took a few minutes to read
it.
Townsville
Laundry Bags….
We have been doing well with the laundry bags for
Townsville but we still need about 180 masculine or gender
neutral bags if you would like to sew a few. Remember, these are for the troops who, in
many cases, were out helping the Townsville community when their own home and
family were affected by the floods.
The
post by date for ALL items on this list is 6 JUNE please.
PLEASE note the date and let me know if you have any problems getting
your quilt/LB away on time. In fact, if you are going to be late posting it
please let me know BEFORE you post it. Also, if this time frame is too
tight for you, there are options, just email me to discuss.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE copy the ENTIRE line if you wish to nominate for
a quilt or laundry bag.
For example….
Marvel Theme.
Ironman M LB 1
This is really important to make sure that neither you nor I copy the
wrong number which could lead to me giving you the wrong details for specific
request. If you find it hard to copy and paste, please copy the line
out as follows…
The first column is the theme or preferences requested.
The second column indicates the gender of the recipient.
The third column is as follows.
B=both quilt and laundry bag (feel free to nominate to JUST do the
laundry bag if you wish)
Q= just a quilt
LB = just a laundry bag
F= female
M= male
The last column with the number is a simple registration number for me
to use… it is only relevant for this week only and will change if the request
is still on the list next week. Once you have received the recipient’s details
you will need to use those to refer to the recipient from then on if need be.
If there is more than one request on this list that you would be happy
to do, I suggest that you send me a list of requests and tell me how many
you want to be allocated…. i.e. one of the following please…. There are
always a few requests that everyone wants to do (and I can never pick them) so
if the first one you ask for is taken then I can allocate another from your
list if I have a list.
If you don’t understand what people are asking for or where to get some
of the bits and pieces, then please ask me but the following might also be
helpful.
Australian National Flag - you can buy panels at Spotlight – ask for
them if you can’t find them.
Afghanistan flag – I can send you one.
Rising Sun, RAAF Crest, Navy Crest, Coat of Arms, RAEME and other badges
– ask me about them, I can often send you some to include if your request needs
them.
If they want some text and it is too much for you to applique, I may be
able to get it embroidered and sent to you to be sewn on the quilt or sewn into
it. Just let me know what words you want, what colour fabric and
what colour thread… keep it simple please. Also include your
address in the email to save me time please.
I can help you with football colours and logos of teams etc. Just ask
me. Most of the logos are simple or you can just add team names if you want to
… team colours are enough also.
Please think about what the request involves before you take it on.
Google, ask questions, email me, make sure you can complete it to your
satisfaction before you commit to it if possible please.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Cheers
Jan-Maree
LAUNDRY BAGS FOR
TOWNSVILLE
We still need around 180 MASCULINE OR GENDER NEUTRAL laundry bags for our troops in Townsville.
Many of the recipients went out and worked
in the community whilst their own homes and families were affected by the
floods.
If you would like to thank them with a laundry bag please let me know.
YOU MUST REGISTER TO MAKE A CERTAIN
NUMBER SO THAT WE RECEIVE THE NUMBER WE NEED AND DO NOT OVERSHOOT THE MARK.
You will need to
post direct to Townsville and the most economical way is via a 3 or 5 kg
pre-paid satchel. You can fit 5-6 bags
in a 3kg bag and 12-13 in a 5kg bag.
You will be given the name and address of Fiona, a recipient’s wife in
Townsville, and she will collect the LBs and distribute them to the
appropriate chaplains.
No feminine bags please, we have enough."
