NEW "THANK YOU" NOTE

Thank you for all the new blankets!  This morning I just delivered one of the "pink fleece" to a 6 year old girl who has just moved with her mother from living in their car to a subsidized apartment- she was thrilled and when I left her she was curled up in her blanket. She is a sweet girl who has been through a great deal.  I delivered another fleece blanket to a teenager in Boston Children's suffering from a serious head injury. He is still in the ICU but the parents will keep his feet warm with his blanket as they sit by his bed.

COMBINED CHAPTERS - CUMBERLAND & YORK

Effective immediately, we are expanding the Cumberland County Chapter to include the York County responsibilities.  Our combined name will be PROJECT LINUS CUMBERLAND & YORK COUNTY, ME CHAPTER. 

 York County drop-off locations are Tony’s Sewing Machine in Biddeford and Marden’s in Sanford.  York County additions are Sweester-Family Focus, SMMC, Waban Projects, York County Domestic Violence and Goodall Hospital, at present. 

The address for our site has been changed to:  http://projectlinuscumberland-yorkchapters.blogspot.com.  Be sure to add this to your Favorites.  This is your go-to site for suggested sizes, recipients and up to date information.  

 

We also are now on Facebook as Project Linus Cumberland & York County.  There have been a few growing pains and I apologize for any inconvenience.  I understand that many of you have received 3 requests to join Facebook.  Sorry, I thought I had sent 588 requests but somehow only 206 got sent.  I’ve got to figure this out.   However, sign up on Facebook as I’ll be posting frequently and you’ll be able to see pictures of events, thank you notes, and other info.  So, please bear with me as I’m learning. 

 

I’ll continue to do a short newsletter and will mail to those without computer access.  However, if you have questions, please contact me at 284-5606.

With sincere thanks to Julie Baker for her dedication and hard work as the York County Coordinator.  You’ve put a smile on the face of many children.  A job well done.

VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION DAY - MARDEN'S

What a terrific day it was!  Collected 60 blankets (a bonus as I didn't expect any) and generally had a wonderfull time.

Many thanks for Craig and Crystal and their staff for everything!  It was truly lovely.  And a special thanks to Cassie Moon for doing the Disappearing 4 patch demonstrations, Charlene Gerrish as "Lucky" and Mim Pepper for her help.
