I am glad to read that this matter has been resolved and it was truly a matter of miscommunication. I had an experience some years ago where I donated both crochet afghans and quilts to a group called Because we care. The woman in charge stated that all donations would go to needy children. Found out she was picking out the "best" ones and selling them. I would not have cared except she never gave any accounting of where that money went. I was very leery of donating after that. I have since found a head start program at my church and every year the children come downstairs where the quilts are laid out and each child picks their own. I really know where the quilts are going and all the children are so happy.

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. 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. Watson |
