Good Morning Blanketeers,
Once
again, a tremendous thank you to all of you that made this year’s Erie Give’s
fundraiser such a wonderful success. $ 1,707.18 was raised by our community for
NWPA Project Linus. When we say that it “Takes a Village”, no truer words were
spoken. We can’t do what we do without you !!!
**Join NWPA
Project Linus for our Drive By “ Sew In” at my house at 1446 Patterson
Ave. on Wednesday September
16th from 10:00-2:00. This year we are unable to have our annual Fall
Sew IN at Hampton Inn due to COVID -19. There
will be yarn, fleece and pre- cut kits of several patterns for making Project
Linus blankets.
We hope that
you will stop by and pick up some kits. For your safety and ours MASKS will be
required.
· There is plenty of street parking and
my home is one floor. Looking forward to seeing many of our wonderful
“Blanketeers”.
