September brings with it shorter days and cooler, crisper nights. As we welcome the change in seasons what better way to cozy up than with a beautiful handmade quilt. Constructed and donated in the memory of Joan Harvey, the Halfmoon Bay Crazy Quilt Guild worked tirelessly to create and then graciously donate a stunning, handmade 86”x176” quilt to Habitat for Humanity Sunshine Coast in support of the Affordable Housing Program. Habitat for Humanity is in international not-for-profit organization whose mission is to assist lower income, working families in securing safe, affordable housing for their families.
If you are in the Trail Bay mall Saturday, Sept. 2 or Sunnycrest Mall Saturday, Sept. 9, stop by the Habitat for Humanity table to get up-to-date information on the ongoing efforts of the organization as well as a ticket for a chance to win this handcrafted beauty.
Joan and her husband Dale were long time supporters of Habitat for Humanity, with Dale logging many hours helping in all areas most especially the ReStore. The theme of the quilt, houses and homes, reflects the Harveys’ belief in Habitat’s mission of safe and secure housing for all. The quilt is being raffled as a fund raiser for the Affordable Housing Program with tickets at $5 available at the mall locations. Alternatively, stop in at the ReStore, purchase a ticket and speak with store manager Luanne to learn what volunteer opportunities exist and how your talents could be gratefully utilized to support this very worthwhile cause. The raffle draw date is Sept. 15.
New to the fundraising effort for Habitat is a recently launched 50/50 draw. Tickets are available at the mall locations as well as at the ReStore. 50/50 draws will be held monthly and offer a great opportunity to show support for Habitat as well as a chance at a great prize.
