Hi Colonel Dan,
just a note from Gail in Gibson City
Coming up in Edwards, Illinois Sep 19 & 20, 2009 @ Seven Circles Heritage Center
8817 W. Southport Rd
The 5th Annual Veterans Friendship Pow Wow
The Tazewell County 40 et 8 are sponsering the Agent Orange Quilt of Tears Display, my brother, Chris is chef de garde, and can be contacted: 1-309-242-5229
looking for donations to help with this project
Also, My deceased husband, Sgt. Harrison"Bud" Seward was a Agent Orange related death & I will be presenting my quilt block to Henry & Shiela Synder, overseers of Quilt of Tears, at this Pow Wow.
At present, I am taking my quilt block & using it as a tool to teach others about the project "Quilt of Tears"
I'm sending this info to you because you are working a Veteran's Advocate & you may have some idea how to help raise more funds & get the word out that the "Quilts" will be here in Sep
Thanks
Gail Seward
"Keep on, Keepin' on"
