The Warm Wishes Project is delighted to share that each resident at Brouillette Manor received a blanket or other warm gift on December 20! This project was a success due to the dedication of each volunteer who shared their talents and time. Though the group worked very hard to create an item for each resident at Brouillette, we would not have been able to accomplish this without the generous donations from people who responded to the Windsor Star article. Each donation made a difference to our project and the residents. We can't thank you enough! ~ Rochelle
Denise wanted to share the following message:
Our journey came to an end for this year on December 20th, with 60 handmade items for Brouillette Manor. It was by far the most rewarding experiences I have ever encountered. I cannot express in words how proud I am of all my friends that contributed their talent, love, and appreciation for the Warm Wishes Project. We could not have reached our goal without everyone's support, time, and dedication. The amount of support we received from the community to assist us in reaching our goal was phenomenal, we almost doubled our goal from 60 to 110. My friends: enjoy your holidays and rest up.
All items left over from 2016 are being stored for our 2017 project which will be announced by January 31st.
In case you missed this, one of our dedicated volunteers, Margaret, posted the following message on "Spotted in Windsor":
On Wednesday December 14th, I was at a meeting with Warm Wishes volunteers to drop off my lapghans for the Warm Wishes Project; a group that makes handmade afghans for seniors in nursing homes. We were trying hard to complete 60 so each resident in Brouillette Manor would receive one. Some wonderful people read the article in the Windsor Star about our group and donated beautiful lapghans and quilts so no-one would need to go without. Thank you all so much for sharing your lovely work to help us reach our goal. It is appreciated and will be well received by our seniors. Warm wishes are coming for a wonderful holiday season for all from the members of Warm Wishes Project of Windsor.
Happy New Year!
Our project for 2017 will be announced by January 31st so please stay tuned!
