Roadies Give Back<\/em> was one of the most important. Said Karen Jones, a past volunteer coordinator, how the event impacts patients: \u201cIt lets people with cancer know that a lot of people care about them, are rooting for them, are praying for them and are hoping that they get better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nVolunteers at Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Over 30 volunteers showed up to put the comfort quilts\ntogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sisters, Shannon and Barbara, have participated with Roadies Give Back<\/em> all three years. They keep coming back to volunteer because they like being a part of a community that takes care of the greater good. \u201cIf I can do a little bit to help, that is a good thing,\u201d said Shannon, \u201cAnd I get to practice my scant \u00bc\u201d seam!\u201d Barbara is a 6-1\/2 year breast cancer survivor. \u201cAs a survivor, I know how important a quilt can be when going through chemo. Chemo is cold. If I can put sunshine in someone\u2019s life, I\u2019m going to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nSuzanne and Sandie are friends who live in Burbank, California. Sandie was a band mom for John Burroughs High School and Suzanne helped her make a t-shirt quilt for her student. That got Sandie interested in quilting 5 years ago. \u201cIt\u2019s a fun, creative outlet.\u201d Jenny Doan has had a huge influence on Sandie. \u201cShe\u2019s amazing.\u201d Both Suzanne and Sandie attended \u201cJenny on the Road\u201d during the anniversary show. Suzanne likes to take classes at Road. Road 2020 was her 5th<\/sup> time attending the show. She especially liked taking a class with Krista Moser. \u201cShe is so awesome.\u201d Suzanne thought Roadies Give Back<\/em> was a great event. It was her second year to volunteer. \u201cMy mom died of cancer and I have a friend going through it now.\u201d Suzanne brought 12 squares she had put together before the show. <\/p>\n\n\n\nJoan came from Maine to volunteer. She has been quilting for\n20 years. Road 2020 was her first time at the show. She heard about Road from a\nfriend and wanted to come for the 25th<\/sup> Anniversary. She was\nimpressed by the size of the show and all the beautiful quilts on display. She\ntook a class from Jen Kingwell, another reason why she came to the show. \u201cI\nbelieve if you have the ability to help someone else, you should. I do charity\nwork at home. This was a great way to end my trip.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nTraditionally, the Roadies Give Back<\/em> quilts are donated to patients at the Cancer Center in the Spring. With the Coronavirus outbreak, plans to present the quilts are now on hold. Road looks forward to making the volunteer donation when the situation improves.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThank you to everyone who helped make Road 2020\u2019s Roadies Give Back<\/em> a huge success. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Quilters and volunteer service are a natural fit.
