Good Morning Blanketeers,
Once again this year on August
9th, NWPA Project Linus has a very unique opportunity to take part
in this one day online event- Erie Gives from 8:00am – 8:00pm
@ Eriegives.org . We have qualified 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 our NWPA Project Linus raised with
your generous help nearly 850.00. Over all 2.5 Million dollars were raised in
this 12 hours of fund raising here in Erie. That is an incredible amount and we
continue to have a very generous Community.
Your donation to NWPA
Project Linus would assist us to purchase blanket making materials to help us
meet the growing need in our Community of children in need.

Celebrate Erie August 19th-21st
– 1:00- 7:00
- Join us
for an hour or two at our booth in the “Kids Zone” newly located between 8th -10th &
State Street. We have a very large tent provided by the city that protects us
from the elements. There needs to be someone from our Organization at the
booth at all times. The City does provide some volunteers
that are wonderful helpers that are there for a few hours at a time. So
if you stop down, it would allow us to take a restroom or meal
break.
- Children
and Adults sit down and color all of those muslin squares that we have been
tracing all winter long. Many families come back year after year and enjoy
coloring the squares.
- I will be
going downtown Thursday night the 18th to locate our booth and
post the information on Facebook and on our Blog.
