I was at a party the other night and one lady got excited when she found out I was a quilter. She told me she has a friend who has a really good job at the Ronald McDonald house in our city. She told me that her friend gave her one of the quilts made for the 150th birthday of Canada. I was shocked and told her those quilts were made for the families of the sick children. She didn't know what to say and came out with the quilt was raffled. I am at wits end as to what to do with this information. If I go to the director of the Ronald McDonald house in our city, it might be the lady who gave the quilt to her friend. Don't know where to go with this information. I think I will ask one of the ladies who quilted most of the quilts in our city if some of these quilts were raffled. Maybe she would do some inquiries.
If in fact this woman was given one of these Canada 150 quilts, that is reprehensible.
Those quilts were to go to families and children who had to stay a RMH due to illness. NOT be given out to friends.
I would definitely speak to the director of the local RMH and ask for an explanation. Even if they don't know anything about it, it will give them a heads up that this is happening and they can take steps to put a stop to it.
