Grandparents Doing Good!

Recently my Mom attended a volunteer appreciation day for the Holly Center in Pocomoke MD. This is a center for individuals with Developmental Disabilities. This is the write up from their spring newsletter!


L ocated in the town of Pocomoke is a shop
known as Robin Anne’s Quilters Service.
Once inside, you’ll find warm smiles and lots of
laughter from some special ladies who belong
to the “Thursday Group”.
T hey meet Thursday of each week to share
quilting news, exchange ideas, sew, quilt,
chat and have a great time! The group was
called upon last September for their consideration
in making
wheelchair
bags to
benefit Holly
Center
individuals.
Robin Anne
Condon,
business
owner, graciously
invited
Marlina
Belote, along
with the
president of
the Holly
Helpers, Patti
Potterton, to
meet with the
group to discuss
the particulars.
The
rest is history!
The
wheelchair
bags were made out of denim material for both
genders and will be utilized to carry items for
the individuals, similar to a student’s back pack.
To date, they have made over 100 wheelchair
bags and continue to make more! We appreciate
the support they have given to Holly Center.
As a group, they work very well together within
each person’s own level of expertise. It bonds
them together and offers support along with
joyful inspiration. Mary Maloney (that's my mom!), president of
the group, offered their services for future requests
to benefit Holly Center. Thank you,
Thursday Group!

Chris and I are so proud that our girls have such accomplished Grandparents and good positive role models in their lives! We love you!
