April 2017 Issue 2
Presidents Message
How about the last few days of wind. Hope everyone
is still with us and didn't blow away.
HCE day has been planned -- hope you all can
attend. We can always learn something new. Don't
forget your cookies for Farm Safety Days.
Nancy has a project on Veterans Service training
with Aaron Greisen on March 22.
Is anyone interested in earning some extra cash and
be our new coordinator of the Dairy Bar at the fair. See
the information in this newsletter.
Also check out the tour planned by Joanne Trunkel to
Minneapolis. It sounds like it could be a blast. Have a
Happy Easter Day.
I will be gone to Wausau most of the day tomorrow,
have a niece having by pass surgery. If you
have questions, send an e-mail and I will answer as
soon as I can.
-Lois

International Committee
The Quiltlets, for Nicaragua, that members
made this last year were such a big success
that we have decided to continue the project.
"Therapy Quilts" for Nicaragua. The
instructions follow:
• Lightweight Quiltlets for Medical Centers
in Nicaragua
• Use Cotton Fabric
• Use 2 pieces of fabric (No batting)
• Sew the two pieces together and then quilt
with embroidery thread or yarn, or simply
topstitch the edges and a few times across
the center.
• Make in different sizes - anywhere from
one yard pieces of fabric to two yards or so - and
any size in between. Usually the width of the fabric
(45" wide). Can also use up your smaller pieces of
fabric from quilt making squares, designs or what-
ever else works.
• Color is always good and cheerful - children's or
any happy design.
The children in the hospital are anywhere from infants,
toddlers to young teens. Larger size quilts are also in
need. They are also used for adults to have a light cover
for dignity.
We can obtain labels from Wisconsin/Nicaragua Part-
ners to put on the quilts.
If your club is interested in making some, need more
informa�on, or when you have some contact Lois Beck-
er (715-255-8307) or Joanne Trunkel (715-267-7264).
We will be collec�ng them at HCE Day, in April.
