The Aussie Hero Quilts Thank-You Weekend is dedicated to the wonderful quilters who volunteer to give back to our serving men and women in the Australian Defence Force, also to those who are suffering an illness or injury. 

There are multiple activities and events over the weekend around the Canberra region including a Volunteers’ Gathering at ADFA on the Friday night, a Newbies Breakfast, of course the Thank-You Dinner and a farewell brunch at Poppy's Café on the Sunday. Events for the Friday afternoon and during the day on Saturday will be advised in due course.
