67 BLANKETS FOR NELSON MANDELA DAY

Dearest 67 Blankets family,

It is that time of year again! Winding down

for the holidays and hopefully getting some

well deserved rest to energise us for what

is going to be an exciting new year for us

all.

I would like to express my heartfelt

gratitude to each and every single one of

you for your hard work, dedication and

loyalty to what has become a global

phenomenon. Who would have ever

imagined that a simple idea, a ball of wool

and a crochet hook could explode into what

many are describing as a movement for

good and change in this world?

Our 2019 newsletter follows,

All my love!

Defining the way we showcase 67 Blankets for Nelson

Mandela Day in retail malls..

At a recent and ground-breaking meeting, 67 Blankets

secured a collaborative partnership with Redefine

Properties that will give us access to all their shopping

malls across South Africa.

Working in conjunction with the various centres and

regional managers, 67 Blankets will be able to host

events in their malls.

We are extremely excited about this mutually beneficial

and well-defined relationship and look forward to some

super-charged events in your regions.

More updates and news to follow….

All regions around South Africa have been tasked with

creating their own “Magic Mandela Moment” display of

blankets to create awareness for 67 Blankets.

Please churn out as many blankets as possible by March

16th, 2020. Drop off points for the blankets to be found on

our website. www.67blankets.co.za
