History in the making - Banner Report March 2013

Hi again and a good day to you.

Well my friends - things are on a roll and the day is coming up fast and I am on the run.

I have been sewing banner segments together 10 meters at a time, I then add the gold boarder on the fabric. This process takes about 1 1/2 hours.

[So you can imagine - What a relief it is to me and how happy I am when banners arrive  with their gold boarder and the segments are all sewn together. ]

 I'm also doing school presentations - attending meetings and talking to people in our community about our historical event.

Well I'm off to town again.

God bless - take care and have a great day.

p.s.

I have officially cut 1,209 segments for the banner, therefore if everyone on returns their segments for the parade and if at least one person from each province accepts the Canadian Challenge, we should have a substantial representation for organ and tissue donation and the Guinness World Book Record.

 

Please Note – That, anyone can be in the parade - even those that haven't had time to make banners - on that day, we will need a lot of volunteer hands.

Well my friends - Due to a special invitation to an open house at the U of A - for donor families from the Peace Country - This morning, hubby and I are heading out to Edmonton for a couple of days.

It's going to be an interesting trip and I am looking forward to finding out what the near future will bring.

Take care - God bless and have a great day.
