Review for Davies Manor Assoc Inc, Bartlett, TN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The grounds are beautiful year round with walking trails, a wide variety of trees, and an array of unique outbuildings. The goats and donkey are great fun to interact with. The year-round programming and special events are excellent and getting even better. Interesting newsletters prepared by energetic and engaged staff. All in all, DMA is a terrific place to visit and volunteer.

Review for Davies Manor Assoc Inc, Bartlett, TN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been involved at Davies since participating in the 2008 annual Quilt and Fiber Arts Show. It is truly a remarkable place - so much to explore on the grounds, the historic Manor House, the many outbuildings, George the donkey, his four goat buddies, chickens, the kitchen garden, the arboretum/hiking trails, the wide variety of exhibits/programming on the property, and so much more. Excellent destination for field trips.

I have been involved with AAQI since 2006. My mom died with Alzheimer's mid-2005 after a multi-year descent. It broke my heart when she no longer knew my name ... During her illness and years of decline, my sister and I felt so powerless. We did everything we could to keep Mom safe and comfortable, but the relentless progression of the disease stole her away. Now, I stitch in her honor and memory to help AAQI raise desperately needed research funds. No one makes an Alzheimer's journey alone - as Mother Theresa put it: “We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” This is SO true of AAQI - together, one quilt at a time, we ARE making a difference. I am grateful and honored to be a part of AAQI.
