Have you bought your tickets for the Annual Aussie Hero Thank You Dinner??
Today is the last day so here are the details for the last time....
The
Aussie Hero Quilts Annual Thank You Dinner is almost here. The purpose of the dinner is to show those
who sew for us that they are truly appreciated by the members of the Australia
Defence Force. The event creates an
opportunity for our sewers to meet and chat with members of the Navy, Army and
Air Force in a social setting and each year has a lasting impact on the
attendees.
Quilters
are traveling to Canberra from all over Australia from all over the country,
from WA to QLD, SA and Victoria. This is the sixth year we have had a dinner,
the first being 20 people at the Hornsby RSL in 2017. This year we are hoping for around 200
guests.
During
the evening you will have the change to bid on a number of exciting Auction
prizes, not the least of which is the opportunity to commission your choice of
quilt.
We
would love it if you could join us. Everyone is welcome.

meet a recipient, let alone see one in uniform.
This will be a very special experience for them.
