Looking back at our Craft and Gift Fair
The Craft and Gift Fair was even bigger this year as we have moved to a bigger venue. The new venue was the Carina PCYC. The entire building and the grounds was used for the Fair.
Inside the main hall there were the usual Craft stalls, full of gorgeous handmade products to purchase.
There was something for everyone, jewelry, craft products and kits, sewing materials, wood turned objects and ready made products. It was a great way to get the Christmas list filled.
Come back tomorrow and check out more of the highlights. Let us whet your appetite for 2016 Craft and Gift Fair

Build a Bear party - a gift of cuddles and comfort
Remember when you were a child and had a very special friend? May have been
a soft toy or a special blanket.
A favourite activity of Quota Carindale is raising money to give a group of
foster children a visit to build-a-bear for
their own special friend.
Janette Taylor had the great idea after visiting Build-a-bear with her own
grandchildren. She asked around and was directed
to Mercy Family Services.
They have foster children placed all over Brisbane, and when we settle on a
day, ten excited children come bouncing through
the door accompanied by their foster parents.
We have a pre-selected bear and the children can choose their colour, plus
your donation allows for an item of clothing. Could be
a pair of trousers, a tee shirt or a tutu.
A red satin heart is kissed, whispered to then sewn into the bear which the child has named. A special box is then provided to take home their new friend.
It's a very heart warming activity as you can imagine. We hear from the social worker that some little children still sleep with their bear 12 months later.
Often these children have to be taken from home in very frightening circumstances. Everything familiar is left behind.
A very special bear is cuddles and comfort.
Your donation of $25 for one bear (or $50 for two ) is a wonderful gift.
We want to do four parties this year. Would you like to help?
Please contact qicarindale@gmail.com one of our members will give you more details on how you can help.

Update from the President of Quota International of Carindale
2014 has started off as a busy year for the Carindale Club. In January we held our first get together where we planned some of the events the club would be holding this year, either as fund raising events or social events. During this meeting a parcel we had been waiting on arrived, this was a Broadmaker Studio program which was being donated to a young autistic boy who was starting Prep in 2014, so we were pleased to be able to deliver this communication programme in time for his first day of school.
To start off February we held a sausage sizzle to raise more funds, also during this month members of Quota celebrated the 95th birthday of Quota International.
March saw a very successful Trivia Night at the Abruzzo Club, Carina, where funds raised are for the clubs in the Philippines for the disaster relief program.
QI of Southwest Cebu – Two classrooms have been repaired, the Mental Retardation Room and Visually Impaired Room for 35 students of the SPED Dept. of Bantayan Central School, Bantayan Island, Northern Cebu. A blessing and inauguration is planned, but a definite date has not been set yet. For more information visit www.teamquota.org
