PRESENTATION OF WHEELCHAIR BAGS

The above photos were taken at the Multiple Sclerosis Home at Dutton Park when some of our Committee members presented 120 Wheelchair Bags made by members and friends from around the state. They have up to 25 permanent residents and during each year over 90 respite persons pass through the facility. The recipients were most appreciative of the bags and their faces really lit up as they received them. Our Committee has taken the Wheelchair Bags up as an ongoing charitable project and call on all sewers to participate. If you need the pattern any QCWA member would be happy to oblige.
