BLANKETS FROM RAINBOW GIRLS

A very special thank you to Debbie Redmon, Kelsey Redmon and all the Rainbow Girls that participated in making 278 blankets that I recently received.    This is absolutely wonderful and will help so much in making difficult life changes easier for so many children.  A job well done!

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK - MEETINGS

I've received several inquiries about our volunteers routinely getting together to work on Project Linus projects.  In the past we've only done this as a Blanket Day in various parts of the county.  Now, our area includes both Cumberland and York Counties so we have more opportunities. 

Is there any interest in getting together in specific areas?  Maybe once a month?  in the evening? during the day?

Please let me know what you would be interested in doing. 


RECEIVED FROM MMC BARBARA BUSH NURSES

A sincere "thank you" to the nurses and staff at the MMC Barbara Bush Center for their donation of $50.00. It seems that they save their bottles and can.   Great idea!  Thank you. 

Calico Quilters Mystery Project Linus quilts

Mim and I attended the last meeting of the season for the Calico Quilters in Freeport/Yarmouth.  Thanks everyone for inviting us for your potluck supper.

We received the most amazing mystery quilts for Project Linus.  Heather Harden and her committee made up fabric kits for 10 quilts.  Each month, the participants received an instruction about completing.  WOW!  I wish you could see how wonderful these quilts are.  Sadly, I have a picture but I can't figure out how to attach it, so. . .   Sorry.  They're beautiful - and a nice large size, too. 

The quilts will be loved.  Thank you, many times.
