🧶 Wow! Thank you to the very kind and talented members of our Zonta club. These warm rugs were donated to Jo Houghton (2nd on right) from the Kidney Society. For her to give to patients on dialysis to keep them warm. We hope they love these, it was a true pleasure to make them. We are very proud with all we do as a club for the Kidney Society. Making weekly morning tea for those receiving treatment also. 🫶🫶🫶
