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
