But!! First!!!
My in laws live up that way ( Free hotel haha) so we decided to go a day early and get a little Golfing in!
We had Two presentations there - The Three were so excited to be there - and I loved them. They each had such amazing stories. and the thing is... each presentation takes on a life of its own. One of the Vets shared some of his War Stories - and held us all captive. The gentleman on the right - Turns 100 this month.
It was so cool to have their family and friends come to Honor their Veteran... made my day
and also.... I met JUDY!!! of Busy Hands are Happy Hands!!! What a sweetheart!!!
The bottom Photo - He was also so excited to be there - but was more comfortable with an individual presentation - what another cool dynamic. His whole family showed up... and in Whole - I mean like 20 of them.. it was in the evening, and the difference in Temperature - oh wow... I could handle the evening haha!!
So!! Interested in making this Happen for one of your Veterans touched by war? Check out QOVF.org

ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect venue for the presentations!
ReplyDeleteAnd Alycia does a fabulous presentation! Her DH K and her in-laws were so friendly and gracious! I’m so glad I could attend with 4 of my fellow QOV quilters. I think we all are going to do this mystery! Won’t that be fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to honor these heroes.
ReplyDeleteOh that is a fantastic venue for the presentations!
ReplyDeleteYou sure lucked out with that venue! And I love that you can "go with the flow" and give each veteran what he wants/needs from it.
ReplyDeleteGood to see the presentation in Wyoming. Yep, 105 is ridiculously hot.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a venue for a QOV presentation! Thank you so much for your advice on giving a QOV presentation! I recently had two WWII veterans who I separately awarded to. It went well with your help! I am still not comfortable doing them but feel more confident after your advice! Thank you so much!

ReplyDeletethe QOV presentations are always awesome even in the heat....thank you alycia for all you do on their behalf
