Grandmothers from Canada and six countries in sub-Saharan Africa have created this stunning quilt to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Stephen Lewis Foundation, and to raise awareness of the African grandmothers affected by the HIV epidemic. The piece is travelling across the country and will be at the Courtenay Museum, 207 4th Street, from Wednesday, May 15 to Saturday, May 18, 10 to 4.
Come and enjoy this beautiful piece of fabric art. The Glacier Grannies will be on hand to answer your questions about the quilt and the work of the Foundation. We will have cards for sale, and a scavenger hunt to encourage children to look for details in the work.
Glacier Grannies meetings are a time for the entire membership to get together to celebrate successes, plan upcoming projects, learn about the work of the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, and enjoy friendship and refreshments.
Meeting times are 1:30 PM at the Comox United Church250 Beach Drive.
