Join us for fun at our regular monthly meeting. The doors open at 6:15 and the meeting starts at 6:45.
We are honored to welcome Tona Jackson, Arizona’s Quilts of Valor State Coordinator to our September meeting. Tona’s connection to the military began early in life. Her father and uncle both served in the Army during World War II, and several other family members served in the Navy. She grew up listening closely to their stories which left a lasting impression on her. In the 1990s, a dear friend introduced Tona to quilting, and it quickly became one of her greatest passions. Years later, after attending a presentation about Quilts of Valor, she immediately knew she wanted to become involved. She found it to be a meaningful way to thank veterans by wrapping them in “comforting and healing Quilts of Valor.” In early 2023, Tona founded the Arizona Quilts of Valor group with just 12 members. Join us in September as she shares her inspiring journey and personal connection to Quilts of Valor.
