Charity items distributed in November,
December 2009 Charity Items Distributed in May Members of the charity committee made the deliveries: Sandy Kelso, Alice Vreeland, Donna Broomall, Sandra Ferguson, Katherine Lewis, Marcia Wright Charity Items Distributed in April: Franklin Memorial Hospital requested more bears and pillow pals, so Sandy Kelso dropped off 31 bears and 6 pillow pals. Also they had asked if they could have the pattern for the pillow pals, and that was given to them. No other deliveries were made in April, but the committee is hoping to do one in May. Charity Items Distributed in March: Sandy Kelso and Donna Broomall got off to an early start on the deliveries. On March 4th, they delivered 41 bears, 5 lap quilts, 10 wheelchair bags, 3 walker bags, 20 pillowcases, and 10 tote bags. They said everyone was very appreciative, especially the shelter and the hospital emergency room. Another delivery is planned for April. The February 2009 Meeting was our Charity Quilt-in. We needed to replenish our supply of bears, quilts, pillow pals, and wheelchair tote bags after our many 2008 charity donations. To see us at work view the February 2009 Slide Show on the Show and Tell page. Everyone was busy sewing, stuffing, making kits and learning new techniques. Marica Wright and Teena Livsey demonstrated a couple ways to use up scraps doing “Quilt as You Go.” They brought 28 kits to the meeting, and 23 were checked out. At the end of the day 94 bears were completed, 86 Bear kits and 72 Pillow Pal kits were made up. Katherine counted 69 stocking kits checked out. |
