Comment by Anne Powell yesterday

Pam joked the other day that she had "splashed" the news about Ronda's new KASwagon all over the Forum and on Facebook. Comments are appearing here, there and everywhere, and I hope that when the furor dies down, someone will collect them and pass them on to the wonderful folks at G4S.

In case you have not checked the original 'Exciting News' photo in the Photo section, here's an idea from Jana Hruba which she posted under that original photo

I have a suggestion ... emails and forum comments are great ... but how about we send a thank you card / postcard with our next package? G4S would get to see that we really are from AROUND THE WORLD and that we are all very thankfull :-)

What a wonderful idea - Ronda loves it too as you can see in her response

. I love all your comments and specially the idea of thank you cards for G4S ! It will SO show us to be the "family" we have all become, to KAS and to each other personally. Y'all certainly warm my heart with your generosity and your caring which, I believe, makes KAS a truly unique operation. Feels like I know you all personally and newcomers to the opening sessions are always amused that I can call out the names of contributors by merely seeing envelopes, boxes and their contents from across the room, so familiar have you and your special talents become to me !! Hugs to you ALL xoxoxo

Let's try to deluge G4S with our appreciation by enclosing a thank you card in our next parcel to let them know how much a part of our family they are!

Comment by Beth yesterday

G4S have definitely given KAS a much needed gift in that wonderful vehicle - I am sure Ronda and everyone involved in SA are overjoyed!  It will surely make the distributions much easier and they will be able to take more blankets and goodies each trip :-)

That's great you are going to see the Soweto Gospel Choir in the Sault Linda, it's sure to be a wonderful event!

Happy May Long WKend to all of you :-)

Valerie has done a wonderful job of raising awareness for KAS in France as well as raising much needed postage money.  Check out the photos she posted on the photo page. http://forum.knit-a-square.com/photo

It is so exciting to think that Ronda will now have this marvellous vehicle. I wonder how many blankets/squares it will hold !!!  I bet those needles and hooks have been working overtime today :-)

Here's the link to the rest of the photos of this beautiful vehicle.

Coming home after the fete and finding this message has made a perfect end to a very stimulating and satisfying day. What wonderful news.

Wow! That is certainly a wonderful gift.  Thank you G4S for this gift to Ronda

Thanks Pam for sharing.  It certainly has made my day.

Linda and Laurie - I couldn't agree more - as part of KAS, I feel like I am mother/grandmother to hundreds - what a special gift that is to comtemplate on Mother's Day!

Thank you Laurie !
