Ami Simms recently shared the most amazing way of gifting AAQI Priority Quilts and the message they share with others.
She recently shared her nephew's trip abroad and how some very special gifts traveled with him in the AAQI Update blog:
<<Alzheimer’s Quilt Travel to Germany and France
"My nephew Reeves, age 16, has been studying flute for five years. Since 2009 he has been performing with the prestigious Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, located in Muskegon, Michigan.
This past June Reeves traveled with Blue Lake on a European tour with other students as part of a 50-piece concert band. After intensive practice at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, the group performed concerts in France, and Germany.
Students stayed with host families during the trip. Reeves wanted to
give something heartfelt, meaningful, (and easy to transport in his
backpack) as a gift to each of the seven host families he stayed with to
thank them for their hospitality. His gifts? Priority: Alzheimer’s Quilts!" If you want to give gifts of your own check out the
