TVQA ~ Reminder Please save hangers
In last month's newsletter, a reminder was posted about the TVQA looking for Hangers. So I am posting this reminder:
"Please Save Your Hangers. We had a bit of a time hanging the quilts this year. We need hangers like this one for next year. It does not matter if the clip part is black or clear - but they must have a swivel hook. I will be at the Board Meetings and can collect them at that time. We will also collect them at Assembly Day 2013." Ginger Fondren
