GIVE KIDS THE WORLD
VILLAGE
– KISSIMMEE, FLORIDA
We hit our goal of 10,000 “wish pillow” covers
in a one year period. We turned our first 91 covers in to the
village on February 21, 2006. The 10,000th wish
pillow cover was turned in January 31, 2007. What a fantastic year!!!!
What an amazing group of “sewing angels”!!!!! You are all simply unbelievable and too great for words.
At least 52 of the Brevard Bobbins have participated
in this project in some way. They have provided
sewing and sergering time,
donations of money, thread, flannel for the pillows,
novelty print for pockets, as well as obtaining
their families, friends, coworkers and other chapter
member’s assistance in all these ways.
Many members have taken tours of the Village along with
spreading the word about this wonderful non-profit
resort for children with life threatening illnesses
whose one wish is to visit central Florida’s best-loved attractions.
The entire family is brought
to Florida.
No one is refused. The
week long stay includes
accommodations, attraction tickets, meals and much,
much more----completely free to the family.
We have also had money donations (which we are terming
sponsors) from: (1) Republican Club of North Brevard,
Titusville, (2)
Titusville Space Coast Chapter of the American
Sewing Guild, (3) Jake C. Drennon II Insurance Agency, Titusville,
FL , (4) SGS Power
Systems of Kennedy Space Center, FL and (5) XI
Lambda Lambda of Beta
Sigma Phi, Titusville, FL.
“THANK
YOU”
is such a small word for the contributions you have
all made toward this wonderful and fulfilling endeavor.
Everyone has just been FANTASTIC!
