At our November meeting, guest speaker Neva Hart

a website where we could see that the soldiers do indeed receive
these donated quilts. Neva sends along the website URL- http://tinyurl.com/7tqbvyn

through the photos. Neva advises that you'll have to wait for
the advertisements to finish, but it's worth it.
