On September 8th, all the Lutheran Churches throughout the Salt Lake valley, participated in a "day of service" to assist the needy or otherwise offer help to those with special needs. Zion's Lutheran choose to make blankets for Project Linus. They completed 15 blankets for the project and also 10 more for military personnel. The event was arranged by the Youth Leader, Liz Mensinger.
We are often asked what size of blankets are needed most and that answer is all sizes!! This month we find ourselves short on small boy (1 to 1 1/4 yard) in small boy prints. If you out shopping, please look for toddler boy prints! We can always use all sizes of blankets, especially medium 1 1/2 yards in prints appropriate for 8 to 10 year olds. This size is the one we go through the most and the size we donate to Shop with a Cop in South Jordan this before Christmas.
Hugs to you all,
Millie & Kristin

Thank you to everyone who contributes to Project Linus in Salt Lake County. Whether you make blankets, sew labels on, package blankets, yarn or fabric, each one of you helps to grow our chapter so we may give a little bit of love and security to a child in crisis.
