If you haven*t been in touch with us for a while, please let us know how you are doing - we plan on printing some updates in future newsletters. We are looking for photos for our Family Wall - please send us a picture that you can spare! We will also be 'making' quilt squares (no experience or talent necessary) - clients can express their feelings on a square or just let us know what should be pictured and we*ll have our volunteers create it for you! Look for a unique newsletter design in the early spring that will list new and ongoing services for patients and family members.
