October 2017
Welcome Fall
Blanketeers,
Thank you to everyone
that on such very short notice stepped up, and with whatever way they were able
to helped us to achieve our goal and even surpassed it by sending 100 blankets (
which is double as to what we had originally told Headquarters) to Houston for the Hurricane Harvey Relief
efforts. When I say that it takes a “ Village”, these past few weeks have shown
me time and again how true that statement really is.
At this time we have not
heard anything from Headquarter in regards to Hurricane Irma of sending
blankets to Florida or to the Islands that have been affected. When and if I
do, an email, Face book and blog notice will go out. As always, our local needs
will not be neglected, but the needs of others can be met as well.
