September 2022 Newsletter

 


 September 2022

 

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
