Good Afternoon Blanketeers,
Thank you can hardly express to all of you that made this year’s Erie Give’s fundraiser such an exceptional success. $ 4,735.00 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 !!! These funds will allow us to purchase blanket making supplies, such as material, batting and yarn for our kit
Monthly Meetings:
12th- Coordinator’s
Home 1446 Patterson Ave –
No monthly
meeting 9:00-11:00
15th Doug
Yaple Vacuum Center– 1815 E. 38th
Street NO monthly meeting 10:00-2:00
Odds & Ends:
· There is still in
need of all sizes and types Boy blankets.
· As we near the cooler
months and the holidays, there are several agencies that require a large amount
of blankets for their clients. So, we ask that you continue your wonderful
blanket making, so that NWPA Project Linus can meet their needs.
Reminders:
· When you store or launder your blankets, please
do not use dryer sheets or scented bags or laundry soap, due to children’s allergies
and possible respiratory issues
·
Check your completed
blankets for pins or long threads. Please remove them before a child finds them
first
· We are starting to cut the remainder of the
winter, holiday fleece that we received from JoAnn Fabrics. If you are
interested in making these fleece blankets for NWPA Project Linus, just contact
me ( JoAnn Burkhart) at 814-392-5583
Looking Ahead:
February 18th, 2023 National Make a Blanket Day
August 8th, 2023 Erie Gives Day
