Phase III of the Huntington's Disease Memorial Quilt made it's grand entrance
and unveiling at the HDSA National Convention in June, 2006! As most people
know, all three of the Huntington's Disease Memorial Quilts are available, on a
first-come-first-get basis for any HD awareness or fund raising event.

The HD Memorial Quilt website
[http://huntingtondisease.tripod.com/hdmemorialquilt/] has been updated July 2,
2006 to reflect two changes.

Requests for Loan of a Quilt
Since all of the Quilts are maintained in the home of HDSF Committee members
Dave & Sue Hodgson in Sandwich, Illinois all instructions have been changed to
reflect future requests for the loan of a Quilt for your HD event need to be
submitted to Sue Hodgson. Sue's email is sue_angels@.... It is preferred
that each person requesting a Quilt fill out the HD Memorial Quilt Application
for Loan however, as a minimum, your request should be emailed to Sue.

Subject [of email] - Request for Phase [fill in] Quilt on [fill in date]
The body of your email message should reflect:

Date Quilt is Need:
Date of the Event:
Quilt Wanted: [Phase I, II or III or a combination thereof]
Name & Shipping Address where you want the Quilt shipped
Name and phone number of the person who will be responsible for the Quilt, if
different then the ship to.

Shipping Cost
Since the Quilts are stored at Dave & Sue Hodgson home if they aren't out on
loan at another location, the Quilt you requested will be shipped Illinois.
Since donations haven't been collected from locations displaying the quilt in
the past, there are no funds in the HDSF Scholarship account to cover shipping
to a requesting location. In 2005 the HDSF paid for the shipping which reduced
the monies we had in the Fund for convention scholarships. The Quilts travels to
HD Events approximately 12 times each calendar year so hurt our 2005
scholarships.

In May 2006 the HDSF found we need to start having the requesting location to
pre-pay the cost of shipping any of the Quilts for their HD event IF the quilt
is being shipped from Illinois. Rather then having to get a quote from UPS each
time a location requests a the loan of a Quilt, the HDSF has come up with an
approximate UPS cost to ship each quilt [based on prior costs], depending on its
weight and size:

Phase I -------------$45.00
Phase II ----------- $35.00
Phase III ---------- $35.00

Some locations may be closer to Illinois, however many are much further away.
The HDSF will deposit your pre-paid shipping charge. Any money not used to ship
the quilt to your location will go towards the 2007 convention scholarship fund.

If the group requesting the quilt wants to display more then one quilt, the
shipping charges would be cumulative since they are shipped separately. For
example, to ship Phase I and II, the UPS cost to ship to you would be $80.00.
Each Quilt is shipped via UPS in a canvas duffle bag along with the binder
holding the bio on each square and the guestbook.

Each is insured for $1,000.00. Although the each Quilt is priceless and could
NOT be replaced, should a claim ever need to be placed the insurance
reimbursement would go to the HDSF convention scholarship fund.

Pay Pal
For those that would like to charge the cost to ship a Quilt for your event,
once your reservation has been confirmed by Dave Hodgson, Pay Pal has been added
to the HD Memorial Quilt Loan Application link:
http://huntingtondisease.tripod.com/hdmemorialquilt/id1.html Once Dave, the
HDSF Treasurer, receives a notice from PayPal indicating you have pre-paid the
shipping, the Quilt will be shipped.
