This important information is for Victorian and Queensland knitters only. (Other States please contact the coordinator in your State).

Thank you for the thousands of knitted goods that you have supplied for the children of the world. 350,000 have been sent so far.

As you are aware all deliveries now go to U3A Nunawading.

WE ARE TAKING A MUCH-NEEDED BREAK.........PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGES WE NEED TO PUT IN PLACE FOR THAT.

This facility will not be open from 30th November 2007 to February 1, 2008, please make a note of this; we do not want you to make any unnecessary trips and we will not be accepting delivery to our homes.

Most of the shipping containers have now been packed and sent. Joe has been very generous in allowing us to use the space at his warehouse for storage, but we do not wish to leave hundreds of bags there over the Christmas break.

Hopefully we will be able to get away anything that comes in over the next six weeks.

Don’t forget if you hear of any shipping containers please let us know.

So what are we saying to you..... our loyal knitters?

Small jumpers are still coming in by the hundreds, this must stop!
No drop offs to our collectors in Victoria or Queensland after the beginning of November
The pattern is not to be passed on as we have more than enough knitters at the moment.
No deliveries to U3A between November 30, 2007 and February 1, 2008
If you wish to continue to support this project, please pack your knitted items in a stripy bag, this helps us with costs.
We run this project on a shoestring budget, it costs money to post, courier, buy bags and general stationary. If you can make a donation no matter how small it is appreciated.
Please send cheques or money orders...payable to The Australian AIDS Fund Incorporated....to The Australian AIDS Fund Incorporated, PO Box 1347, Frankston, 3199.....which will issue tax deductible receipts.

Again thank you for the support and understanding you have given in the past and please don’t be put off by the request above, but we do need to be realistic about what we can do and finding the shipping containers then getting the goods to them is the hardest part.
