Every patient, young or old, is given a handmade blanket. So we must give a shout out and a thank you to Wrap-A-Smile by the International Quilters, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Wells, Maine. The quilters donated 100 quilts that were passed out to the patients.
Thank you to all the quilters who have donated innumerable hours on these beautiful and comforting quilts.
