May Newsletter

May , 2020

Hello  Blanketeers,

Once again we hope that all of our Blanketeers are staying safe and healthy during this COVID-19 Virus pandemic. Due to the stay at home order, all of our May meetings are cancelled. Also, at this time all of our drop off locations are closed as well. As soon as our Quilt Shops and stores are open we will send out a follow up email, to let you know that blankets can start to be dropped off. 

****Due to the COVID-19 our “Spring Sew In” at the Hampton Inn on May 9th, has been cancelled. We hope to have our “Fall Sew In”, in either September or October. More info to follow as it becomes available. ***

SAVE THE DATE: Tuesday August 11^th- Erie Gives 2020 

  

 NWPA Project Linus has a very unique opportunity to take part in this one day Erie Gives on Tuesday August 11th from 8:00am – 8:00pm @ Eriegives.org . We qualify and are registered for this event.

We would ask that if you give to a charity throughout the year, that you would consider donating to NWPA Project Linus on that day.  Last year on this one day of fund raising a record breaking 5.5 million dollars were raised here in Erie. That is an incredible amount and a very generous Community.

Your donation to NWPA Project Linus would help us to purchase blanket making materials to help us meet the growing need in our Community of children in need.
