Harry's t shirt
Blanket Revolution  by Al
Drawing on experience with her previous Club, Environmental & Vocational Director chased down used blankets for repurposing.
Community Help And Togetherness (CHATS) in Port Adelaide provides support for those sleeping rough and tough and those who are socially isolated.
 
Alison reached out to them, with positive response.
 
So, the team gathered both before and after the meeting and sorted, collated, folded and packed blankets. Ones that were beyond repair were bagged for distribution to local Vet Clinics/Animal Shelters, with the remainder sent through to CHATS.
 
well done Alison, and also to prospective member Tracey for capturing snaps.
