Quilts of Valor: Exhibit
The Quilts of Valor Foundation is a
national nonprofit established in 2003 by Catherine Roberts, the
mother of a young soldier deployed to Iraq. The group gives
hand-made quilts to US service people who have been deployed across
the globe. The stated mission is “to cover service members and veterans touched
by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor.”
From Memorial Day through the end of the month, 25+
locally-made Quilts of Valor will be on display at the Vandalia
Branch of the Dayton Metro Library during regular operating
hours. The quilts are displayed in the Opportunity Space
of the Branch. Patrons will have the opportunity to vote on their favorite
quilts.
The quilts will be awarded to
veterans and active duty members of the US military. Forms
are available at the Branch to nominate veterans to receive a quilt. Recipients
are considered in the order applications are received. If there are more
applications than QOVs made in 2022, names will be held into 2023.
Please contact Nonda Harvey, charvey3@woh.rr.com,
regarding more information about the Quilts of Valor program, or if you are interested
in participating in next year's event. If desired, masks
and hand sanitizer are available at the Library.
