September 2015
Good Afternoon Blanketeers,
I just got back from the Erie Zoo for the presentation of the checks from the Erie Gives Day and how wonderful and exciting to receive a check for $857.00. Thank you, thank you to all of those who donated on that very special day. Also a Thank you to ALL of our Blanketeers, Volunteers and Quilt Shoppe’s that support NWPA Project Linus, because without you, we would not be able to meet the needs of the children in our Community.
New monthly Sew In, 3rd Wednesday of the month. You will need to bring your sewing machine, sewing kits will be provided.
September 16th: Join the girls for some Project Linus sewing time.

September 19th- Sew In Day 10:00-am-4:00 @ Hampton Inn 8050 Old Oliver Rd, Erie, PA 16509. As in the past sewing kits, iron, ironing board, cutting board and supplies will be provided. Lunch, beverages and snack are also included for the day.
Remember that we have the use of Hotel’s cart for ease of getting our sewing machines and other supplies to the conference room.
ODDS & ENDS: Due to a recent influx of larger size blankets our need at this time is the small and baby sizes. As always, we need all sizes all of the times, but if you are inclined to make the baby or smaller blankets, we would appreciate it.
REMINDERS: When you drop off blankets, please include your contact information.
