Jan Mitchell - Beach basket Chris McGee - Spa Basket Congratulations Winners!!
The Ladies Charity Luncheon on March 5th was a great success, enjoyed by all. A huge thank you to our speakers and our gentlemen servers. Due to the kindness and generosity of the ORPS community we were again able to donate a total of $10,000 and a playpen full of much needed supplies to Shelter From the Storm. Way to go ORPS!
Our spotlight this month is on three of our longstanding members who are sadly leaving us for new adventures. • 2006 is the year Laurel and Roger Ankerstein from Leduc, Alberta, bought in ORPS. Laurel started quilting in high school home economics where she made 6 inch blocks backed with a woolen blanket, which she still has! Sadly Roger passed away in 2018 and is missed by all. • 2013 is when Joan and Ron Sherwood from Victoria, B.C., first arrived in ORPS. Joan started quilting in 2006 but was unaware of the quilting group until 2015 when a kind member invited her to the room where she became hooked by the friendly enthusiastic sewers. • 2013 is also the year Ev and Alec Bayes from Airdrie, Alberta first came to ORPS, buying their lot in 2015. Ev started coming to the sewing room in the fall of 2016 and says she has enjoyed all those who have passed through the room. A wonderful bunch of ladies. You all will be missed. As the season comes to a close the ORPS Quilters and Sewers are busy with our community service endeavors working on our raffle quilts for next season. If you think you might enjoy being part of such endeavors, please join us in the West Room in El Saguaro or contact us via email at orpsquilters@gmail.com. We would love to show you what we do. We are creative and provide inspiration for each other. All levels of expertise are welcome! Our members make so many donatable quilt items annually for The Shelter From The Storm. May you all enjoy the summer months and safe travels to wherever your journey takes you. Tannis Haddrell
