September 2023
Good Morning Blanketeers,
Where did the time go. NWPA Project Linus is celebrating our 25th Anniversary this month . In that time we have delivered over 65,000 new handmade blankets to children in need. Congratulations to all of our wonderful Blanketeers !!!!!
Thank you can hardly express to all of you that made this year’s Erie Give’s fundraiser such a success. We will have to wait until after September 8th for our results this year. Stay tuned…
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 kits.
Monthly Meetings:
21st 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 well as baby size blankets
· *we are nearing 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
· There are still have many precut kits and yarn available for those who would like to make blankets for NWPA Project Linus, just contact me ( JoAnn Burkhart) at 814-392-5583
Looking Ahead:
