President’s Message

2024 was a very successful year for the Needlework Guild of Canada, Toronto Chapter. This is due to the efforts of so many. A big thank you to all of our members, convenors and volunteers. A special thank you to our 61 financial donors. With your generous donations we were able to purchase new clothing to help meet the changing needs of our agencies. Please consider making a financial donation to help with our efforts. The easiest way is to do an e-transfer to the email shown in the donate page of our website. The other ways that you can make a financial donation are also given.

Distribution Day 2024 was very successful. We distributed 7,156 knitted items and 12,749 purchased items to our agencies. Another special thank you to Carole, Cathy, Wendy and Sarah for all of your efforts in preparation for the big day.

We are getting more followers on our social media pages, especially on Instagram, where we now have 198 followers. I encourage you to look at both our Facebook and Instagram pages and to please consider following them.

In closing, I would like to thank our board and executive members for their work throughout the year. We all give our thanks to Yorkminster Park Baptist Church for generously accommodating us for our special events held throughout the year.

I know that 2025 will be even more successful with all of our continued efforts.

Cathy Reith, President
