Special Quilt Offer 10-15 years of service acknowledgment

 

It’s back to business this week after our summer slowdown and to kick-start activity for 2021 we are offering a special offer to those who’ve served 10 - 15 years of ADF service to our beautiful country.

A special Quilt offer to acknowledge your service!

 

Hey folks,

We are going to do something a little different today. You may be one – who has served but NEVER deployed and not had the chance to request an Aussie Heroes Quilt.  You may have seen friends receive quilts and bags and have loved them.

We have decided that it’s time again to do something a bit special. We currently have an opportunity to add to our list at the moment and around our lovely nation we have amazing volunteers who love to sew for Aussie Heroes. This is a special offer, open only ‘til 6pm (Sydney time) Friday 29^th January but will be capped at 50 requests, whichever is sooner.

If you are or have been a serving member who has completed 10 -15 years of service, or you know someone who has, then here is the deal. You have until 6pm Friday 29th January night to request a personalised Aussie Hero quilt for yourself or for someone you know. The recipient must have served a duration of 10 -15 years and does not need to be currently deployed, or still serving at the time of the request.  Past quilt recipients NOT eligible.  

We are hopeful that this will give us the chance to recognise some of those who have not had the chance to deploy or because they have not served on a deployment which meets the criteria to receive an Aussie Heroes quilt. Nonetheless, they need to know their service counts as well.

You need to EMAIL (no messages or texts please) on friendsofAHQ@gmail.com with Essential details include Name, Rank, number of years served, PM keys (or service number) Postal address and your preferences. Please bear in mind that your quilt will be designed and made by a volunteer and they are limited to what they have access to, especially given the restrictions imposed on us by COVID-19. Service crests and corps badges are mostly no problem.

Lastly, whoever is requesting a quilt will have to cover the cost of postage ($25) as we cannot ask the volunteer to cover those costs as well as their time and materials. The funds will need to be deposited into the Aussie Hero Bank Account and a receipt forwarded to Aussie Heroes by email before a quilt is created. Bank details etc will be forwarded via email once the request has been received and accepted.

This is a short term offer which ends at 6pm Friday 29 January 2021. Recipient must have served 10 – 15 years and does not need to be currently deployed. $25 postage must be paid prior to bag being made.

Remember, you need to EMAIL me (no messages or texts please) on friendsofAHQ@gmail.com

Subject must include Attn: Clarissa – 10-15 years Aussie Hero Quilt offer

We are looking forward to hearing from YOU! #thankyouforyourservice
