Quilts of Valor News ….
The Lincoln QOV Group and Lincoln Quilters Guild have been given two very special opportunities to serve. First, we have been invited to award Quilts of Valor to 130 Nebraska combat veterans from the Korean War. These American heroes made an Honor Flight to Washington, DC in October, and our goal is to get them all covered before March 1, 2014. If you would like to make a QOV or a pillowcase or both for the Honor Flight veterans, please do so! For more information, please contact either Sara Kenny (sara.kenny@qovf.org) or Julia Schroeder (julia.schroeder@qovf.org).
In addition, we have been invited to provide lap size cuddle quilts and pillowcases to 50 students from St Mary's School in Lincoln, Nebraska. The students, who are in 6th, 7th or 8th grades will be traveling to Omaha in March to send-off the next set of Honor Flights. The students will sing the National Anthem and provide cards and letters to the 450 veterans who will be making those flights. If you would like to make a lap size cuddle quilt or pillowcase or both for the St Mary's students, please do so! For more information, please contact Vicky Skuodas (gs20937@windstream.net)
