Event Detail


Troop #654 Freedom Quilts - Need Old Blue Jeans

Tuesday, February 6, 2007 -

Troop #654


Help Brownie Troop 654 Create Four Freedoms Quilts

 

The Four Freedom Gratitude Quilts are given to injured
service members to show the love and respect that we have for our troops.  
Made of denim squares cut from jeans, these squares are signed by groups
and individuals and include messages of support.

 

These denim quilts were inspired by Franklin D. Roosevelt’s address to the
77th Congress on January 6, 1941 -
The Four Freedoms.

*
Freedom of Speech and Expression *
* Freedom of Worship *

We will be collecting old jeans at the

February, March & April Vista Meetings

 

Please contact Stefanie K with any questions.
